Improving Your Gut Microbiome Health

The Motivated Mind

Around 95% of serotonin is produced in the gut, highlighting the strong link between gut health and mental health issues like anxiety and depression. With 90% of Americans showing signs of metabolic dysfunction, it's no wonder that interest in gut health has skyrocketed, with Google searches up 300% since 2016. Today, I'm joined by Dr. Adam Perlman, Chief Medical Officer at Pendulum and former Director of Integrative Health and Wellbeing at the Mayo Clinic. A nationally recognized expert in gut health and chronic disease prevention, Dr. Perlman sheds light on the crucial connection between our microbiome and overall health. We discuss the importance of maintaining a balanced gut bacteria population, what to avoid to protect this balance, what to include to support it, the link between food cravings and the microbiome, and key considerations when choosing probiotics.
