Ep 81 | How Your Gut’s Butyrate Fuels Your Brain: Beat Brain Fog Naturally

Your gut bacteria make short-chain fatty acids like butyrate that strengthen the intestinal barrier, reduce systemic inflammation, influence appetite hormones (GLP-1), and boost brain health markers like BDNF, which together affect memory, mood, and stress resilience. This episode explains why low fiber and certain vegetable oils impair SCFA production and gives a simple, stepwise plan: calm the gut, reintroduce resistant starches and inulin gradually, swap unstable cooking oils for stable fats, and manage stress, light exposure, and meal timing to support long-term gut–brain healing.
