The Gut Brain Axis and GLP-1 Made Simple

Your gut isn’t just digesting your food… it’s holding a full-on conversation with your brain, narrating your mood, your cravings, your anxiety levels - and even how resilient you feel in midlife and weight loss.

In this episode, we dive deep into the gut–brain axis:

the hormones, the microbes, the neural superhighway between your belly and your mind… and how stress, poor sleep, GLP-1 medication, and midlife changes can throw the whole system off.

Expect science made simple, story made relatable, and solutions you can actually use.

We cover:

• What the gut is really “saying” to your brain
• How stress and emotional eating are rooted in this axis
• Why fibre, protein, and microbiome support matter more than you think
• How GLP-1 affects gut–brain signalling (in a good way)
• The tiny daily tweaks that make your mood, hunger, and energy so much more predictable

If you’re a woman who’s ever wondered why your stomach is basically your second brain - or why your mood and digestion are so tightly connected - this episode will make everything click.

Hit play, grab a cup of something warm, and let’s decode the messages your body has been sending you all along.
