Your Gut Is Not a Digestive Organ. It Is Running Your Entire Life.

from Mindful Healing · host Dr Jennifer Hopkins

Dr. Jennifer Hopkins ends her spring cleaning series where everything begins. The gut. In this episode she explains why your gut is the real brain of your body, producing 95% of your serotonin, housing 70% of your immune system, and driving your hormones, your mood, and your inflammation levels every single day. She covers what alcohol, antibiotics, processed food, and chronic stress are doing to your microbiome, how leaky gut and the estrobolome are connected to everything from anxiety to autoimmune disease, and the exact gut cleanse and daily support protocol she uses in her practice.
