Episode Synopsis

In this bitesize episode, I speak to gut health expert Tim Spector about the link between the microbiome and mental health. Tim explains how the bacteria in your gut produce key brain chemicals like serotonin and GABA — and how what you eat affects stress, mood, energy and even sleep.We also talk about the hidden signs of poor gut health, why 'five-a-day' advice isn’t enough anymore, and how ultra-processed foods are quietly reshaping our national health. I share a personal story of how fermented foods helped turn around my own anxiety — and why the gut is a good place to start if you're feeling off balance.I offer 1:1 flow and inner alignment coaching — book a free consultation here: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/find-your-flow-intro-chatAnd my free online course on moving from burnout to flow is here: https://www.simonmundie.com/restore-balance-mini-courseMy other links:Book: https://www.simonmundie.com/bookYouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundieWebsite: simonmundie.comSubstack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast.
