199: Healing Depression from the Inside Out: Gut Health, Ferments & Neurotransmitters - with Kriben Govender

What if your anxiety, brain fog and depression we're just in your head… what if they were coming from your gut?

I can tell you from experience that this is almost always the case. Not only have I seen it in my clients, but it happened to me too. My gut was an absolute wreck in my 20s, and I struggled with anxiety, panic attacks, crippling depression and suicidal thoughts. And today's guest is going to show you how to come out of that to heal yourself naturally.

Kriben Govender is a food scientist, registered nutritionist, and host of the Gut Health Gurus podcast, who shares his personal journey from near-suicide to thriving mental health by healing his gut, so you can learn to do it too.

TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE:

  • How your gut shapes your mental health
  • The basics of fermentation and gut healthy foods
  • Different types of probiotics and psychobiotics for your brain
  • What actually causes depression
  • Trauma, PTSD and their connections to your gut
  • How your enironment impacts you: circadian rhythms, moon cycles, seasons and nutrition
