A healthy gut is incredibly supportive to the brain. It supports the brain in a number of really important critical functions like recovery, for example, or production of serotonin and dopamine and all these important neurotransmitters, but on the other end of the spectrum, an unhealthy gut is not only not supportive, but it's arguably one of the most toxic things for the brain.”Big topics covered in this episode include:Basic mechanisms by which the gut microbiome can influence neurochemicals and brain inflammationThe gut-brain connection as it relates to stress coping and mental healthHow cortisol and interleukin 6 drive stress response and inflammation in your whole bodyVariables that can cause a breakdown or dysfunction in the psychobiomeTherapeutic interventions, including psychobiotics that can help correct gut-brain axis dysfunctionKiran’s great at explaining the science so you clearly understand what the studies mean and can apply new knowledge to your own biology.
