<\/p>\nGut health is one of those wellness terms we hear all the time, and honestly, it\u2019s popular for a reason. Our gut isn\u2019t just about digestion. Like the rest of our organs, it\u2019s connected to the brain, which means it can both reflect and impact our mental well-being.\u00a0The gut-brain connection shows up in everyday life. Feeling queasy before a big meeting? Or so stressed you don\u2019t have an appetite? The two are always in constant conversation whether we realize it or not.\u00a0So today, I\u2019m excited to welcome nutritional psychiatrist Dr. Andy Watkins to the show to help us demystify all things gut health. We\u2019re chatting about what it actually means to take care of your gut and how doing so can help support your mood and your mind.<\/p>\n
