Episode 40: The Gut-Brain Connection and How it Affects your Mental Health with Dr Katie Murphy
Our gut is often described as our second brain and with jolly good reason.
In this episode, my guest Dr Katie Murphy shares how our gut affects our brain, why what we eat affects our mental health and how you can improve your second brain's functioning with some simple diet tweaks.
We talk about:
- What happens in our gut and how it affects our brains
- How what we eat affects our cognitive functioning
- The link between our gut and nervous system
- What our gut tells us about anxiety and stress
- 3 tips for improving gut health
- The value of probiotics and how to choose good ones
- How to soothe your stress response
There is a huge amount of valuable information in this episode and I hope it inspires you to see your gut in an entirely different light.
As promised, here are some notes about probiotics:
- Recent clinical trials have shown that specific strains of probiotics are capable of regulating mood imbalances, stress, anxiety, and depression.
- The unique combination of Lactobacillus helveticus, Bifidobacterium longum, and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus has been clinically proven to work together to improve the microbiome and alleviate symptoms associated with stress, anxiety, depression, improve mood balance.
Specifically, Lactobacillus helveticus and Bifidobacterium longum have been shown to improve serotonin levels in the gut.
Taking a probiotic that includes these 3 particular strains can help you balance this complex system
