Have you ever wondered what the mind-gut connection actually means? Your gut and brain are in regular communication through all kinds of signaling within your body - so what impacts one affects the other. Have you ever felt your stomach turn because of a distressing thought? There you go! 

In this episode, Elizabeth Mintun speaks with functional gut health registered dietician Naria Le Mire about the different ways that gut health and hormone imbalance can impact us. Naria shares a wealth of information in particular about the importance of considering our gut health for clarity of mind. 

Key Takeaways: 

• Prevention in key - our bodies are offering us all kinds of subtle clues when things are out of balance. If we listen and attune, we can respond early and take care of ourselves. 
• Oftentimes brain fog is an indication of imbalance in the gut. 
• Addressing gut health and hormone balance can lead to a much smoother experience of perimenopause and menopause.
