Your Second Brain: Gut Health & the Enteric Nervous System

You might not know it, but you have a second brain! New gut-brain research shows that neurons in the digestive system communicate directly with those in the brain. In this episode, we do a deep dive into the gut-brain connection and why it matters.

Join us for an interview with Fred Travis, PhD, one of our era’s leading researchers in the fields of neurophysiology and meditation. In 2015, Dr. Travis co-authored a study on the three Ayurvedic dosha types and how they correspond to three different brain types, which impact everything from a person’s gut health and metabolism to their behavioral functioning, and more. 

You’ll learn: 

• All about the gut-brain connection
• Why the enteric nervous system is a second brain
• What Ayurveda has to say about gut health
• Signs your gut health is great, vs signs you could use a tune-up
• What your dosha type has to do with your gut health and brain health
