Tweetable Quotes:
“What we put in our mouth and our gut is going to affect, what's going on in our gut and in our brain. Basically, antibiotics, things like that, NSAIDs, ibuprofen, Tylenol. A lot of these actually alter the gut microbiome and that's going to affect how our gut communicates with our brain, and actually, our gut communicates more with our brain than our brain to our gut. So, it really is that gut-brain connection.” – Audrey Stimpson
“We have to deal with some levels of stress, and recognizing what it is that we need to remove ourselves from so that we can help our hormones.” – Audrey Stimpson
