The Mind-Gut Conversation Podcast by Emeran Mayer

I was listening to one of my favorite Podcasts by Dr. Emeran Mayer. If you don't know who he is, he is responsible for The Mind-Gut Conversation PODCAST and the science behind the Microbiome. He is the author of 2 published books and many scholarly articles and literature. He has done many published papers and is recognized as the microbiome guy. DR Emeran Mayer has a POD cast where he hosts all types of practitioners ranging from holistic health nutritionists to Scientists at UC Santa Barbara studying the Microbiome in the soil. Dr. Drossman was a recent guest. He is a gastroenterologist that has popularized the biopsychosocial model and the brain-gut axis; these two are probably the most influential in my career as far as my schooling and going back to school in psychology, and understanding how trauma in the Microbiome in a play with nutrition.

I was listening to a Podcast and learned excitedly that Dr. Emeran Mayer was interviewing.
Dr. Drossman. WOW, Technology is unique. Two thought leaders or professors were communicating about their work, which was accessible. I would hear their voice and feel their enthusiasm. I was overwhelmed with emotion, just grateful!

It was just a reminder of how far science has come in the last decade with the Microbiome and yet how much we still don't know. I've just imagined Dr. Mayer and Dr. Drossman's life and their level of dedication and commitment to this work. They have transformed gut health. With how much work and passion they have put into the science and most of their careers had no appreciation or notoriety until recently. I am grateful for their work in the Microbiome evolution.

Dr. Drossman created the biopsychosocial model and has many articles on trauma and how that affects our long-term health. The Podcast discusses how childbirth, childbearing, and the environment affect bacteria. It was fascinating, and I encourage you to listen to how these things affect our long-term and digestive health today. I hope you guys listen to Dr. Emerson's Mayer's Podcast. It is very informative and gives a refreshing, unique personal touch from a GI doctor. He discussed the issues of modern medicine and how it is not helpful. It was challenging as a doctor and how he has evolved to where he is today after not seeing any results or minimal results with meditation and spending millions on testing. He enjoys science and evidence-based literature and is always willing to evolve and grow. Recently he has interviewed a nutritionist and raw foodist. His unique approach has continued to surprise and encourage me. I would love to meet both Doctors one day.

What Are Electrolytes and How Do They Affect Your Digestion?

What Are Electrolytes and How Do They Affect Your Digestion? We've all heard that electrolytes are essential for staying hydrated, especially during intense physical activities. But these essential minerals do more than just help us replenish fluids. They are also important for regulating nerve and muscle function, balancing pH levels, and aiding in digestion. So, what exactly are electrolytes, and how do they affect your digestion? In this post, we will explore these essential minerals and their importance in maintaining a healthy digestive system. Firstly, let's define what electrolytes are. Electrolytes are charged minerals that conduct electrical impulses in our body, helping to regulate various functions. Electrolytes are primarily found in bodily fluids like blood, sweat, and urine. Some of the most important electrolytes include sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and chloride. Now, let's talk about how electrolytes affect your digestion. Elect

The Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems

The Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems Understanding the human body involves understanding the systems that keep it functioning optimally. Two of these systems are the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, which are integral parts of the autonomic nervous system. They ensure the body's internal functions run smoothly and adapt to various situations - whether we're calm and relaxed or facing a stressful event. The sympathetic nervous system, often referred to as our 'fight or flight' response, kicks into gear during times of stress, increasing heart rate and blood pressure, while diverting blood flow from non-essential functions like digestion to more critical tasks. This can result in slowed digestion and alterations in the gut microbiome. Conversely, the parasympathetic nervous system, or our 'rest and digest' response, predominates in times of relaxation. This system promotes digestion by stimulating the production of digestive enzyme

Histamines: How They Impact Digestion

Histamines: How They Impact Digestion Histamines are molecules that play an important role in our immune system. They are responsible for triggering an inflammatory response to protect us from harmful foreign substances. However, histamines can also have a negative impact on our digestive system if they are not properly regulated. In this blog post, we will be shedding light on the truth about histamines, what they are, and how they can affect your digestion. We will also discuss ways to manage histamine levels to improve gastrointestinal health. As mentioned, histamines are a natural component of the immune system. They are produced by mast cells, which are found in various tissues, including the gastrointestinal tract. When the body encounters a potential threat, such as an allergen or pathogen, mast cells release histamines into the bloodstream. This causes the blood vessels to dilate and increases blood flow to the affected area, leading to swelling, redness, and oth
