Protecting Your Brain Starts in Your Gut with Dr. Partha Nandi

"When you heal your gut, you're not just improving digestion – you're protecting your brain and cognitive function for decades to come. The gut-brain connection is so powerful that what's happening in your microbiome today could determine your brain health at 75 or 80." - Dr. Partha Nandi World-renowned gastroenterologist and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Partha Nandi joins me for a fascinating deep dive into the incredible connection between our gut and brain health.

What he discovered will transform how you think about protecting your mind as you age. Through groundbreaking research and clinical experience, Dr. Nandi reveals why healing your gut could be the key to preventing conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and stroke – and why the choices you make today about diet, stress, and lifestyle impact your brain health decades from now.
