Episode notes
Gut-Brain Has Three Pathways
- Gut and brain communicate via nerves, the vagus and immune signals, with microbes modulating those messages.
- Microbes use chemicals, the vagus 'phone' and immune alarms to influence mood and cognition.
Modern Diets Shrink Microbial Diversity
- Ultra-processed diets reduce microbial diversity by removing many fibre types and phytochemicals.
- Modern lifestyle stress, medications and processing together harm gut function and microbes.
Diversify Your Grocery Picks
- Diversify your shopping: buy mixed frozen berries and varied seeds instead of repeating the same items.
- Small swaps cost nothing but expand the range of fibres and phytochemicals feeding your microbes.
