Traumatic brain injury and SIBO with Kayle Sandberg-Lewis | Ep. 69

If you’ve suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) you may have noticed that your gut behaviour has changed. This week Rebecca is joined by Kayle Sandberg-Lewis who specialises in TBI’s and their treatment. Kayle and Rebecca discuss how to identify a TBI, what happens to your brain when you experience a TBI, how this can affect your overall health and specifically the gut/brain connection. On today's podcast they discuss:

✓ TBI’s vs non TBIs ✓ Why questioning is so important to determine if a TMI has occurred ✓ What to do if you have a TBI ✓ The differences between the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system, and how to identify which is dominant ✓ The changes that can occur in the gut following a TBI ✓ Why practicing mindful eating after a TBI is important ✓ Why TBIs should be treated as a disease process instead of a static event ✓ How closely the brain and the gut are interlinked ✓ What treatments can help to resolve TBIs ✓ The statistical likelihood of having another TBI
