Food as Medicine
The gut-brain connection & your microbiome
Let me introduce you to your microbiome:
Your gut microbiome is a complex and unique community of microorganisms, chemicals, and hormones that has broad impacts:
- Plays a role in systemic immune regulation.
- Can influence your mood and overall mental health via the gut-brain axis.
- Impacts how you digest your food and nourish your body.
- Can influence the vagus nerve which plays a role in regulating the fight-or-flight response.
