In this 107th episode of the Soberhead Podcast Dr. Esra Çavuşoğlu, PhD welcomes Dr. Sepp Bodo Fegerl, MD. Dr. Sepp explains the foundations of Mayr Medicine and its perspective on digestion, metabolism, and overall health. 
Dr. Sepp B. Fegerl bases his work on Mayr Medicine. Mayr Medicine is a natural therapeutic approach that focuses on cleansing the digestive system and improving gut health, and it was developed by Franz Xaver Mayr. Within VivaMayr, Dr. Sepp has developed practices that support the body’s energy balance alongside improving gut health.

The conversation explores how digestive function, not just food quality, may influence energy, inflammation, and metabolic balance. Topics include the role of chewing, meal timing, stress, breathing, and the body’s ability to properly break down and absorb nutrients.
The episode also covers concepts such as fermentation in the gut, metabolic byproducts, and how eating patterns may affect the liver, blood sugar, and overall well-being. Practical ideas are shared around eating pace, portion awareness, and creating conditions that support digestion.

This episode offers a different lens on gut health moving beyond common trends and focusing on how daily habits may influence long-term health and performance.
