As a gastroenterologist, I share how the gut microbiome influences brain health, mood, digestion, and overall well-being. I cover how stress and lifestyle impact the gut microbiome, which foods shape it, and the latest research showing that fermented foods can increase healthy gut bacteria diversity. What you’ll learn: • How the gut–brain axis works • The link between gut microbiome and mental health • The effect of stress on gut health • The best foods to improve gut microbiome • Why fermented foods support gut diversity • Practical steps I recommend to improve gut health By the end, you’ll understand the critical role your gut plays in mental and physical health — and walk away with simple, evidence-based tools you can start using today. #drsethi #GutHealth #Microbiome
