Description

Angela welcomes gut health expert, Josh Dech, who explores the profound connection between gut health and mental well-being.

Together they delve into the intricate relationship between the brain and gut, discussing how neurotransmitters produced in the gut influence mood and behaviour, emphasising the importance of diet, and highlighting the need for whole foods, the avoidance of intolerances, and the impact of histamines, particularly for those with conditions like Crohn's disease.

Key Takeaways

Gut & Chronic Disease: 93% of major diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s, can be traced back to gut health.

Brain-Gut Link: Your gut directly impacts mood, focus, and mental clarity. An unhealthy gut can lead to ADHD symptoms, anxiety, and brain fog.

Acid Reflux Myth: Most reflux cases are due to low stomach acid, not too much. Suppressing acid can worsen gut health.

Pesticides & Processed Foods: Industrialized food and chemicals damage the gut microbiome, fueling inflammation and disease.

Healing Approach: Focus on whole foods, gut-friendly diets, and identifying intolerances to restore balance.
