This Is What Happens to Your Brain When You Heal Your Gut

Season 1 Episode 282

Ever wonder why anxiety, brain fog, or even memory loss often come hand-in-hand with digestive issues?

In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe unpacks the fascinating science of the gut-brain connection, showing how your microbiome and vagus nerve directly shape your mood, focus, and long-term brain health. You’ll also discover the hidden gut disruptors sabotaging your mental clarity—and the foods, herbs, and daily habits that can restore balance, sharpen your mind, and protect against everything from depression to Alzheimer’s.
