Seriously, you should listen to it. It turns out your gut can play a huge role in your mental health (95% of the serotonin in our body is housed in the gut!). So we're throwing it back to some key info with clinical psychologist Dr. Lauren Cook, who breaks down what tests and bloodwork to get, and how gut health is intrinsically linked to mental health. Dr. Lauren Cook is a therapist, consultant, speaker, author and founder of Heartship Psychological Services. Specializing in anxiety, she helps individuals and couples work through generalized anxiety, phobias, social anxiety, OCD, and more. She has a podcast called The Boardroom Brain, and has written three books, including the forthcoming “Generation Anxiety: A Millennial and Gen Z Guide to Staying Afloat in an Uncertain World”. Listen to our full episode with Dr. Lauren  here!Tune in every Monday for an expert dose of life advice in under 10 minutes.For show notes and more adulting tips, visit: teachmehowtoadult.caSign up for our monthly adulting newsletter:teachmehowtoadult.ca/newsletter Follow us on the ‘gram:@teachmehowtoadultmedia@yunggillianaire@cailynmichaanFollow Dr. Lauren:@dr.laurencookDrlaurencook.comOrder Generation Anxiety: A Millennial and Gen Z Guide to Staying Afloat in an Uncertain World Subscribe to my Substack:teachmehowtoadult.substack.comFollow us on the ‘gram:@[email protected] on TikTok: @teachmehowtoadultSubscribe on YouTube
