Healthy Looks Great on You

The Gut Microbiome: Your Key to Health


Listen Later

What if the secret to your mood, your metabolism, and your immune system wasn't in your head, but in your gut? In this episode, Dr. Vickie takes you from the 1680s discovery of microorganisms to today's cutting-edge microbiome research, explaining why the trillions of bacteria living in your intestines do so much more than digestion.

You'll learn:

  •  90% of your serotonin and 50% of your dopamine are produced in your gut
    • How your immune system and gut microbiome are deeply connected
    • The difference between prebiotic and probiotic foods, and which ones to add to your plate
    • Why fiber is the single most important nutrient for a healthy microbiome
    • The truth about yogurt and whether it's actually helping your gut health
    • How sleep and exercise play a surprising role in microbiome diversity
    • Whether you're dealing with bloating, low energy, or just want to feel better long term, this episode gives you the science and the small steps to start nourishing your gut - starting today.

      Doors to the Healthy Looks Great on You LAB open July 1st. Join a cohort of women to take a deep dive into improving gut health. Check it out: https://healthylooksgreatonyou.com/the-lab/
