Episode 2 of the microbiome series explored one of the most exciting areas of modern medicine: the gut-brain axis.
Can the trillions of microorganisms living in our intestines influence memory, mood, cognition, and even the risk of dementia? Emerging research suggests that communication between the gut and brain may play an important role in neuroinflammation, neurotransmitter production, healthy aging, and cognitive decline.
In this episode, Dr. Alan discusses the science behind the microbiome’s connection to brain health, including Alzheimer’s disease, depression, anxiety, probiotics, dietary interventions, and the growing evidence that what happens in the gut may have profound effects on the brain. Separating scientific fact from hype, Dr. Alan explores what this rapidly evolving field may mean for maintaining cognitive health throughout life.
