ALL THAT WONDER

Follow Your Gut with Robin Weaver


Listen Later

This week, we're joined by Robin Weaver, MS, INHC. She empowers women, specifically moms to heal their gut issues by improving their mood & reducing stress. She believes we are a culmination of not just WHAT we eat, but HOW we eat, WHY we eat, and WHO we eat with and strives to help women transform their lives because she has overcome her own struggles with the “food-mood relationship”.

Robin sheds light on the link between our gut health and brain health.

Dealing with bipolar disorder, her last psych break led her to psych hospital where she met her best friend who was a catalyst for her getting healthy. That coupled with her relationship with her daughter has led her to be sober for 5 years now,

Developed chronic stomach issues in 2020 which caused her to miss a lot of days at work. Countless tests later, her GI gave her an antidepressant to help with her gut which led her to inquire more. Serotonin (known as the happy chemical) is actually produced in your gut and not your brain as most people believe. The increase of serotonin in her body actually helps to relax her stomach. Her curious nature also led her to study and explore more on the nervous system and how the gut has a direct link to the brain.

We also learn why prebiotics is just as important as probiotics for gut health and the types of food we should be eating to get the right nutrients for our body and gut.

Robin recommends keeping a food journal to understand how certain foods react with your body and overall well-being as well as eating intuitively.

We also learn about how to exercise the vegas nerve such as alternate nostril breathing and a cold shower, which helps with overall stress and anxiety.
