Feeling anxious, low, or foggy? What if the key to a calmer, sharper mind isn’t just in your head, but in your gut?

In this talk, Functional Medicine Health Coach Anil Grover, AFMP, and immunologist Mridula Gupta, PhD, dive deep into one of the most critical topics in health: the profound connection between your gut and your brain. We break down the science of how your “second brain” in your gut directly influences your mood, stress levels, and even your risk for neurodegenerative diseases.

Many are stuck in a cycle where stress wreaks havoc on the gut, and an unhealthy gut, in turn, sabotages mental clarity and emotional balance. It’s time to break the cycle.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

The Second Brain: Is your gut really a brain? We explain the enteric nervous system and how its millions of neurons are in constant conversation with your brain.

The Mood-Gut Loop: How your gut produces over 90% of your serotonin and influences your motivation and mood.

The Alzheimer’s Link: The connection between gut inflammation, leaky gut, and the development of amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain.

Beyond Neurotransmitters: Why a “leaky gut” can lead to a “leaky brain,” sparking body-wide inflammation that is a key driver of depression and brain fog.

Practical Strategies for a Healthy Gut-Brain Axis: Discover the top foods to feed your good bugs, key lifestyle tweaks to reduce inflammation, and how to manage stress to protect your brain from the gut up.

This isn’t just theory—it’s a practical guide to managing your mental and cognitive well-being. Learn how to nurture your gut to finally support a calmer mood, sharper focus, and long-term brain health.
