There's a lot of talk about the gut-brain connection, but what is it? My guest Jana Cordero and I discuss the physiological connection, what is known as the MBGA (Microbiota-Gut-Brain-Axis), the vagus nerve that is a major link between the brain and the gut, and what we can do to improve and curb various mental/psychological and physical health conditions. Because the brain affects the gut and the gut affects the brain. *This episode may contain sensitive content for some)* Helpful resources are under 'Brain Gut Connection' on my LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/healingwithsway.
