Description
“Dr. Emeran Mayer: The Mind-Gut Connection” brings together David Perlmutter (MD) and Emeran Mayer (MD) for a deep conversation on how gut health shapes brain function. They explain how microbes, neurotransmitters, and nerve signals link digestion and mood—and why that connection matters more than ever. From early-life influences to fiber-rich diets and microbial diversity, the episode offers practical science behind the gut-brain link and helps listeners see digestion as a key player in mental health and long-term resilience.
