In this special episode, part of our "Mental Health Is Physical Health" series, I sit down with members of my team to discuss everyone's favorite wellness topic: gut health and the mind-body connection. From lesser-known symptoms of an underlying gut problem, how to decipher your bowel movements, the stress-trauma-gut-brain health connection, to the best antimicrobials, we go over everything you've ever wanted (+ need) to know about your gut microbiome and mood health. Plus, we break down how incorporating mindfulness could be the key to overcoming digestive distress and having balance. Plus, a vulnerable conversation with one of our patients gives you an inside, personal look on what it really looks like to find vibrant wellness.

A few of my favorite things we cover this episode:

• How underlying gut issues may be affecting your microbiome through unsuspected symptoms
• Why your bowel movements may be not as regular as you once thought
• A look into the health benefits of natural antimicrobials and how they can help restore your gut’s health
• The importance of incorporating mindfulness practices around your food consumption
