EP19. Learning about the impact the gut microbiome has on our overall happiness and stress resilience was a pivotal point in my journey from an overwhelmed and anxious widow to a thriving single mom. What Dr. Shawn Talbott shares in this episode will help you outline your own path to developing true stress resilience.

Our conversation is full of insight on how to naturally fortify the internal defenses that shape our responses to stress, leaving you with renewed peace and energy to face all of life’s challenges.

If you are thinking about anti-depressants, or have been on them for years, you'll want to hear what your doctor isn't sharing with you about SSRI's. I know the concerns all too well. One of my boys' health issues as a toddler led me to learn more about the intricate connections between leaky gut syndrome, mental health and impacts on behavior. Dr. Talbot and I unpack the gut’s far-reaching impact on our mind and body, and offer some dietary changes that can make a huge difference.

You don’t have to be a doctor to understand the science. Dr. Shawn breaks down the gut-brain axis in a simple way we can all understand!

Dr. Shawn's expertise gives him a front row seat to the future of mental wellness. Hear what he says about the growing role of probiotics, and the latest to hit the market: psychobiotics. Ooooh plus, I’ll give you the scoop on my everyday favorite mood-boosting mocktail!

From the depths of anxiety and overwhelm to living a thriving and fulfilled life, I hope the transformative strategies shared in this episode will elevate your mental state and help you show up for yourself better, because you’re worth it!
