Is your gut health impacting your mental health?

The connection between how our gut is feeling and how our brain feels is becoming more and more understood.

That’s why in this episode I invited Dana Chapman, a health and wellness expert, to talk us about how to look after ourselves by looking after our gut. She is trained in Nutrition Science, incorporating elements of how genetics, stressors, environment, food, movement and sleep all impact how we feel think and perform.
