Cultivating Your Gut Feelings
Your gut is full of microbes that communicate to the limbic and emotional centers of the brain. This creates the intuitive “gut” feeling.

By realizing the intricate connection between the brain and gut, you can become more attuned to messages from both. Meditation can help you listen to your gut brain.

Eating food lower in animal fat content is better for your gut communication.

Changing the microbes in your gut can change your anxiety levels and personality traits.

Listen in as Dr. Emeran Mayer joins Dr. Susanne Bennett to discuss gut feelings.
