Ted from Trenton New Jersey asks: Doc, I’m always tired. I’m up to five cups of coffee a day and it’s just not working. Then at night I can’t sleep so I drink wine, which leaves me more groggy and tired in the morning, making me need even MORE coffee to wake up. I’ve tried eating skittles to get a sugar buzz but it doesn’t last long. What do you recommend? Ken from Lansing Michigan asks: Dr. Friedman, I’ve been a long time listener and love your show! I just watched a docuseries on gut health and how it affects the brain. Ever since I developed colitis, I’ve been more depressed. What’s your opinion the gut brain connection?

Is there any truth to this? Ryan from Schaumburg Illinois asks: Dr. Friedman what’s your opinion on Fermented Foods? Ann from Dallas Texas asks: Dear Dr. Friedman. I’ve tried so many of the diets on the market. I initially lose weight but it comes right back. What do you suggest?
