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
