Understanding Your Gut and Its Role In Your Mood and Cravings with Martha Carlin

Satiated Podcast

Happy Satiated Saturday!

I have one published article in a journal titled, The Enteric Nervous System and Body Psychotherapy: Cultivating a Relationship with the Gut Brain.

I have a fascination and curiosity about the gut. The gut contains about 100 trillion bacteria that contribute to your mood, mental health, immune system, cravings, and nervous system.

Some studies have found that there are some missing microbes in the guts of people who are struggling with binge eating, which provides another example of how binge eating is not your fault but a response to what is happening inside your body.

About 95% of serotonin is made in your gut, making it a part of your experience of joy and happiness. You can imagine that if your gut bacteria are out of balance, you may feel inexplicably sad, leading you to reach for food to feel better.

In this week's episode, I chat with Martha Carlin, microbiome researcher, founder of The BioCollective, and speaker about:

• The importance of understanding the microbiome
• The connection between Parkinson's and gut health
• The impact of food and stress on the gut and mental health
• Where gut research may be heading with probiotics, fecal transplants, and nutrition
