Leading nutritional psychiatrist Dr. Uma Naidoo explores the connection between the food you eat and the millions of microbes living in your gut.
Recent scientific studies have shown that the connection between the brain and gut is facilitated by the vagus nerve, which sends chemical messages between the two organs. Eating healthy foods promotes the growth of positive microbes in our gut, whereas a diet high in processed foods and soda can lead to inflammation in the body and brain, resulting in poorer mental well-being.
