Today you’re in for a very special treat! By popular demand, the Neurohacker Science Team is here to explore the fascinating power of the gut-brain axis and its influence on our health and mood.

Gut health is the very cornerstone of health and well-being. In fact, earlier this year, dysbiosis  (an imbalance in the gut microbiota), was added to the “hallmarks of aging”, shedding light on its critical role in the aging process. Why did it take so long for the scientific community to recognize its significance? It’s a question we’re still asking ourselves. 

Maybe even more profound than the link between aging and the gut microbiota is the gut-brain connection. The brain is intimately involved in the gut ecosystem and understanding how to shape our gut ecosystem through the use of probiotics, prebiotics, postbiotics, and synbiotics is revolutionizing how we approach achieving balanced moods and mental states. We discuss:

• Is there plasticity in our gut ecosystem (can we alter our microbiota)? 
• How is the brain involved in the gut ecosystem (gut-brain connection)?
• What are keystone species and what role do they play in shaping our gut ecosystem?
  Probiotics, prebiotics, postbiotics, and synbiotics - what’s the difference?
• Our favorite science-backed ingredients to support optimal digestion, immune function, and key aspects of the gut-brain connection.

Spoiler: the section on next generation probiotics will blow your mind and Dr. Greg Kelly’s zoo analogy to describe all the mechanisms of the gut microbiome is as educational as it is captivating.

The gut is the brain, and the brain is the gut. - Dr. Nick Bitz.

Listen in now and get ready to embark on a transformative exploration of the fascinating power of the gut-brain axis.
