How Ayurvedic teachings foster healing through self-awareness and interconnectedness—when you heal yourself, you heal the world.

Overcoming challenges and the growth that comes from facing them.

The Gut-Brain Connection and The Importance of Prebiotic Fibre with Dr. Caitlin Hall from Myotah Health

The gut-brain axis is a complex communication network that connects the gut and the brain, allowing them to interact and influence each other's functions. Research has shown that the health of the gut microbiome, which is made up of trillions of bacteria and other microorganisms in the digestive tract, plays a crucial role in regulating brain health and function.
Prebiotic fiber, such as short-chain fatty acids, serves as fuel for beneficial gut bacteria, helping them thrive and maintain a healthy balance in the microbiome. These short-chain fatty acids are produced through the fermentation of prebiotic fiber by gut bacteria and have been linked to various health benefits, including improved digestion, immune function, and mental health.
By understanding the importance of prebiotic fiber and its role in supporting the gut-brain axis, we can make informed choices about our diet and lifestyle to promote overall well-being. Join us this Wednesday as Dr. Caitlin Hall shares her expertise on this topic and provides valuable insights into optimizing gut health for a healthier mind and body.
