This week we’ve challenged ourselves: discuss gut health and its connection to mental health—which is an important and detailed topic—in 20 minutes or less! We talk about the importance of gut health pretty regularly on the Happy Eating Podcast and so it’s time for a refresher: what is gut health? Why is gut health important? How can you improve your gut health? Can we give you everything you need to know in 20 minutes? Let’s find out!
