Introducing Health Matters: How the Gut is the Connection Between Digestive Health and Mental Health ​

This week we’re doing something different and sharing an episode from another NewYork-Presbyterian podcast: Health Matters. This podcast provides straightforward, clear answers to everyday questions, directly from the experts at the forefront of medicine. In this episode, host Faith Salie and Dr. Benjamin Lebwohl explore the connection between what we feel in our guts and how we feel in our brains — called the gut-brain axis— and how it creates a strong link that shows how much of our well-being depends on the health of our digestive tract.
