Your Playlist Is Changing Your Gut Bacteria (Yes, Really)
Season 1 Episode 61
You’ve heard “music soothes the soul.”
But what if it also soothes your gut bacteria?
In this fascinating, eye-opening episode, we dive into the surprising and emerging science linking music, the nervous system, and your gut microbiome — revealing that your favorite songs might be doing more than lifting your mood…
they could be feeding your good bacteria.
It sounds like science fiction.
But research suggests that sound vibrations, rhythm, and emotional tone of music can activate the vagus nerve — a critical communication highway between your brain and gut — which in turn influences the balance of microbes living in your digestive system.
Dr. Soha explores:
- How calming music reduces stress hormones (like cortisol) — creating a better environment for beneficial gut bacteria
- Why heavy metal might spike inflammation, while classical or nature-based sounds can promote gut balance
- The role of the gut-brain axis in translating emotion (from music) into biological change
- Early studies showing sound therapy improving digestion, IBS symptoms, and microbial diversity
- How your daily playlist could be a form of invisible medicine for your microbiome
This isn’t about prescribing Mozart for bloating (though it might help).
It’s about recognizing that healing doesn’t only come from food or pills —
it can come from vibration, rhythm, and resonance.
🎧 Tune in to discover how your Spotify routine might be one of your most underrated wellness tools.
Because when it comes to gut health…
you really are what you listen to.
