I always love chatting to this man, so much so that I have had him on twice before. On episode 15 and 49 where we got into pre and probiotics and the vaginal microbiome.
In this episode we cover
- How the gut microbiota influences the mood
- How LPS and endotoxemia are involved
- How insulin resistance and kynurenine pathway alterations influence
- How chronic stress negatively impacts GIT microbiota
- What dietary practices negatively impact our microbiota and therefore our mood
- How we can support the gut and brain relationship
