In this episode, we speak with Prof Emeran Meyer about his publication, The mind-gut connection: how the hidden conversation within our bodies impacts our mood, our choices, and our overall health, which presents the paradigm shift in our understanding of the brain-gut axis. He walks us through some of the evidence detailing the comprehensive model that integrates the central nervous, gastrointestinal, and immune systems and the bidirectional interactions between the gut microbiome and the brain, and how this has a profound impact on our sense of wellbeing.
