In this episode I’m talking to Dr. Emeran Mayer—world renowned gastroenterologist, neuroscientist and Distinguished Research Professor in the Departments of Medicine, Physiology and Psychiatry at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA—about the gut, the gut-brain connection and how they influence each other. We discuss why the gut-brain connection is so important; how emotions and stress affect the gut; anxiety and the gut; the truth about SIBO; how food fear contributes to digestive issues; multidisciplinary treatments for IBS; why digestive issues are so prevalent right now; what to eat for a healthy gut and so much more.   www.headspace.com/BLONDE  for a free one-month trial www.blublox.com/BLONDE  for 15% off and free shipping worldwide www.ritual.com/BLONDE  for 10% off during your first 3 months www.Fxchocolate.com  with code BLONDEFILES for 20% off your first order   Produced by Dear Media
