Thursday Mar 19, 2026
Why your gut may be driving anxiety, brain fog, and low energy
Because what if your brain isn’t the problem?
In this episode, I’m joined by Brendan Vermeire, Clinical Faculty for Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, and we break down what’s actually happening inside the gut–brain axis and how your gut microbiome may be driving how you think, feel, and function every single day.
We’re connecting the dots between gut health, inflammation, and brain chemistry in a way that actually makes sense… so you can stop guessing and start understanding your symptoms.
🎯 In this episode:
-
What the gut–brain axis actually is (in real-life terms)
-
How your gut influences mood, anxiety, and focus
-
Why inflammation and gut dysfunction can show up as brain symptoms
-
Signs your gut may be behind your fatigue or brain fog
-
Where to start if you want to support your gut and your brain
