We have talked previously on the podcast about the importance of gut health (Episode 110: How To Promote Gut Health with Prajakta Apte) from a physical standpoint, but we are hearing more and more about the link with mental health. This is a fascinating area that I wanted to dig more into so I reached out to Ashley Carpentier, a Mental Health Therapist and Health Coach that focuses on the link between gut and mental health. Today we learn more about both mental and gut health, how they are linked and how we can support both.
