The gut-brain connection in children with Dr. Bridget Callaghan

In today’s episode we discuss the connection between our brain and our gut. Have you ever had a “gut feeling” or butterflies in your stomach? Ever had an upset stomach when you were nervous? There really is a connection between our gut and our brain. In this episode we discuss whether probiotics are helpful to boost our gut health, how our microbiota is formed as infants, the link between mental health and our gut health and the role of diet in maintaining a healthy gut.To access our Dr. Callaghan's studies and read the key points of this episode click below:https://www.curiousneuron.com/podcast/2021/1/5/ep-19To join our membership, click below:https://www.patreon.com/curiousneuronTo join our 12-week better me, better parent challenge, click below:https://www.curiousneuron.com/bettermebetterparentJoin us on Instagram @curious_neuronLeave a rating and review on iTunes to support our podcast.Email me at info@curiousneuron.com for comments and questions (or to say hello!)Please leave a rating for our podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!
