Today, I chat with Dr. Emeran Mayer, Director of the G. Oppenheimer Center for Neurobiology of Stress & Resilience and UCLA Distinguished Professor of Medicine, about the bidirectional communication between our mind, brain and gut. We'll talk about what the mind-gut connection is, how it may be affected during these unique times and how we can improve our diet to foster a healthier microbiome.
