Can Your Gut Affect Your Brain? Parkinson’s Disease, Fiber, and the Gut-Brain Connection | Ep. 68

Dr. Rock here. Today we’re diving deep into one of the most fascinating areas of modern medicine: the connection between your gut and your brain. I’m joined by gastroenterologist, researcher, and gut-brain axis expert Dr. Manfready to talk about Parkinson’s disease, the microbiome, inflammation, fiber, and how what’s happening in your digestive system may impact your neurologic health years before symptoms show up. We get into: what Parkinson’s disease actually is and why rates are increasing the surprising connection between gut health and brain disease how pesticides, herbicides, and environmental toxins may play a role what the microbiome really does inside your body why fiber may be one of the most important things you can eat the science behind the gut-brain axis and mood, inflammation, and hormones probiotics, stool transplants, and where the research is heading next We also talk about GLP-1 hormones, Mediterranean-style eating, processed foods, and why modern medicine is paying much more attention to gut health than ever before. And yeah… we even get into poop transplants 😅 Here’s the deal—there’s still a lot we don’t know. But one thing is becoming more and more clear: what you put into your body matters, and your gut may play a much bigger role in your overall health than we ever realized. Let’s get after it.
