Want to know how to best support mental health starting with the gut? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki discuss the upcoming release of The Anti-Anxiety Diet and cover the foundational 6Rs for managing anxiety.

In this Episode, Ali and Becki explore how stress and anxiety can have a chicken and egg relationship with gut health. Chronic stress depletes nutrients that support brain health and impacts gut barrier integrity leading to increased food sensitivities. It can also sterilize beneficial gut bacteria, leading to pathogenic overgrowth.
