The connection between your gut and your brain is far more powerful than many people realize. In this episode, Dr. Mark Stengler explores the science behind the gut-brain axis and explains how digestive health influences mood, stress resilience, cognitive function, and hormone balance. He discusses the role of the vagus nerve, neurotransmitters, inflammation, and the gut microbiome, while highlighting how supporting digestive health may positively impact everything from anxiety and brain fog to thyroid health and estrogen metabolism.
