How Your Gut Bacteria Are Controlling Your Brain with Dr Jonathan Swann

💬 “Microbes can influence things like behaviour, mood, cognition. We're starting to see links with things like Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease as well.” ~Dr Jonathan Swann

⚡️ Dr Jonathan Swann from the University of Southampton is one of the UK’s leading experts on the gut microbiome, with a particular interest in the gut-brain axis.
