  • The Brain and Gut Health

    The Brain and Gut Health
    Feb 6 2025

    Join me for a brief and somewhat technical episode examining the relationship between the brain and the gut.

    The relationship between the brain and gut health is complex and bidirectional, often referred to as the "gut-brain axis."

    Mental Health: There's a strong link between gut health and mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and stress. An imbalance in gut microbiota (dysbiosis) has been associated with these disorders.

    Cognitive Function: The gut can influence cognitive processes such as memory and learning through the production of neurotransmitters and the control of inflammation.

    Mood and Behavior: Variations in gut bacteria have been linked to changes in behavior, including mood swings, due to the influence on neurotransmitter production.

    Digestive Health: Emotional states can affect gut motility and secretions, leading to conditions like IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), where stress can exacerbate symptoms.

    The brain and gut are deeply interconnected, influencing each other's health and function. This relationship underscores the importance of considering both physical and mental health in our daily lives and in medical practice.

    Thanks for listening!

  • Anxiety: "Get me off this by-pass!"

    Anxiety: "Get me off this by-pass!"
    Jan 26 2025

    In this episode, I'll talk a little about what's going on in our brain when we have high levels of anxiety. I'll also share a little about the by-pass metaphor and how it describes how we feel when we are ruminating or super anxious when we can't stop the negative thoughts. Lastly, I'll finish up with a 15ish minute body scan. This is one of the best tools to slow the brain down.

    Thanks for listening. May you find peace and good mental health.
