On ‘Ingredients For Life’, host Patricia Wu and guest functional nutritionist Jayne Williams discuss the powerful connection between your gut and your brain.
Gut Bacteria and Mental Health
Your gut has a surprising influence on your mind – it’s almost like a second brain! The bacteria in your gut can affect your mood, mental clarity, and even how you handle stress.
Nourishing Your Gut: What to Eat
Focus on foods with prebiotics, a special type of fiber that feeds the good gut bacteria. Incorporate more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains into your diet for a healthy gut.
