The Science Behind The Gut-Brain Connection
Emerging research reveals a gut-brain connection. When it comes to the gut, most physicians and scientists miss what is right in front of us, because we are looking for solutions in the wrong place.
When you fix your body, you fix your broken brain. Your energy, memory, focus, and joy will all increase.
While this may not be the case for everybody, changing your diet to feel better is a step in the right direction towards focusing on your mental health and creating optimal health in general.
In a recent episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy, I dive into the gut-brain connection and the Function Medicine 5R program to fixing your gut health.

Great info doc
Take probiotic everyday??
This explains a lot and confirms my theory on fat people and most people in general who don't take care of themselves
I think he messed up his math in the beginning with the quantity of neurons. One hundred billion in the brain and only five hundred million in the gut?
I'm sure it was noticed by now. In any event I love this doctor and he is always spot on!❤🎉😊
I thought i heard him say "500 BILLION" but the captions mistakenly encoded it as "500 million." Typo error, simplest explanation
was he doing math with his second brain?
Mix up figures..
True, we feel calm and relaxed in the month of ramadhan, when we don't eat or drink.
Hope his upper brain one day understands the difference between billion and million. It is not 5 times more, it is 200 times less!
😮
Every elementary aged school kid knows this. They tell mommy I got a stomach ache and the kids gets ti stay hone…the kid had a test they didn't want to take so now they have a tummy ache!
100 BILLIONS neurons in your brain, but 500 million neurons in your gut is 5 times more?
100 billion
500 million
Is less not 5x more.
So, my gut is my second brain and my calves are my second heart. Anything else? 😊
I used to have gut problems from drinking & I remember being really nervous around people & people I knew it would happen anytime my stomach would hurt from the constant stomach problems everyday since I was a daily drinker & anytime I would hear loud noises it would make me scared af I would be sensitive about anything & realized it was because of my stomach so I cut the heavy drinking & it’s like you come back to life again also I changed my diet from junk food ordering from DoorDash all the time to just eating house food that my mom cooks & boom stomach problems gone & not sensitive about things anymore
I have no idea who this guy is but to suggest some direct feedback mechanism between your digestive system and neural function through the Vagus nerve is just silly .The Vagus nerve is an efferent nerve,part of the autonomic nervous system,that does have some influence over heart rate, digestion, and other organ systems, but there is no direct afferent feedback that somehow controls brain function.
Every disease connected to your gut.. 100 percent real.. vitiligo, psoriasis, leprosy, eczema.. all can be healed by gut ❤
I used to swear that dairy triggered my panic attacks but try telling anyone that without sounding even crazier than they already think you are. This makes me feel like I actually did listen to what my body was trying to tell me!!!

Does good gut health cure lupus?
500million in the gut… 100 billion in the brain = the gut has only 1/20th of the neurons NOT 5 X as many!!! 😵💫 🤣 🙈 He thinks we are IDIOTS!!!
I don’t think he understands math or he seriously misspoke!
I'm guessing he meant 500 billion in the gut?
A gdzie pogodne serce mój cudny doktorze , upominam się o Nie , nie tylko na pańskim zdrowym Dworze
My overall gut health has improved since I started taking Planet Ayurveda Colosaaf Capsules regularly.
Brain= lung
Lung problem influence brain
500 million is not five times 100 billion sir. Did you say it right?
Well Doc don't get me wrong, I don't mean to hurt your ego,but the 500 millions it's not ten times the 100 billions!!!! Thanks you for your time and the effort anyway!
And if you issues please take me out of your company
