Description

This week's episode dives into the powerful connection between gut health and mental health. We explore how supporting nutrient absorption, gut permeability, and gut motility can lead to better mood and cognitive function, as well as specific nutrients that are essential for healthy neurotransmitters and hormones that impact depression and anxiety. We also discuss how to seek help from both conventional and functional medicine practitioners to uncover the root cause of your symptoms and find the right approach for healing.
