Gut Brain Axis: 200+ Expert Talks
About Gut Brain Axis
Anxiety and gut trouble showing up together is one of the most common patterns people bring to DrTalks. Bloating after meals, constipation, food sensitivities, low mood, brain fog, a child's emotional meltdowns, and diagnoses like IBS, SIBO, depression or autism are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past digestion. Your gut and brain talk constantly through the vagus nerve, immune signals and the chemicals your gut bacteria make, which ties in stress, inflammation and sleep. You'll find conversations on how your gut can make you anxious, foods that help with anxiety and depression, fecal transplants and autism, and the 5R plan for repairing the microbiome. Doctors, nutritionists and functional medicine practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from stool testing to nutrient and food sensitivity testing, and what helps, from probiotics, fiber and fermented foods to breathwork, vagus nerve exercises and better sleep.
