Emotional regulation

Join my colleague, Dr. Talia Marcheggiani, ND and me in her "The Good Mood Podcast" episode 45.

Here's what Dr. Talia has to say:

"We've talked digestion on The Good Mood Podcast: the structure and function of the vagus nerve and how putting your hands on can help diagnose and treat disease with Dr. David Miller, the gut microbiome and your trillions of little friends with Dr. Kim Bretz. BUT we can never talk too much digestion. As Dr. Laura shows us, there are multiple multiple angles at w…

We have skin on the outside and skin within. Our skin within, which is our gastrointestinal lining, is very thin. When there is gastrointestinal inflammation, there is irritation and inflammation of the lining of the gastrointestinal tract. This can lead to a degeneration of the barrier that separates you from the outside world. Things that should stay in the gut get into the bloodstream, and thus the term "leaky gut". This means toxins, and even pieces of undigested food that would normally …

Two thousand four hundred fifty years ago, Hippocrates said, “It all begins in the gut.” I think he was smarter than even he knew. Has the human condition changed at all since then?

What gluten gives

Wheat consumption has revolutionized our current era. Not only does it fill up 50% of the average daily food intake, it provides fibre and B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B9) and some iron, zinc and selenium. Gluten is found in more than bread and pasta, it is a universal processed food additive as a thickener, flavour enhancer and texture modifier. With the gluten free trends in diet, unfortified meals are seriously low in protein, magnesium, potassium, vitamin E, folate, sodium…
