How the Gut-Brain Connection Influences Your Mental Wellness

The connection between your diet and your mental wellness may seem to be all about how foods and nutrients impact the brain, but that’s only a small part of it. Turns out, what’s more important is how that food impacts your gut and overall gut health.    The gut-brain connection is more complex than we ever knew and there’s a lot of truth to trusting that “gut” feeling. What should you eat (or not eat)? Should you take probiotics? We’re exploring all of this and more in this shortened remix of The Gut-Brain Connection: How Gut Health Affects Your Mood and Mental Wellness (Season 1, Episode 2).
