The MinD-Gut Connection

Cuttingedge neuroscience combines with the latest discoveries on the human microbiome to inform this practical guide that proves once and for all the inextricable biological link between mind and body. We have all experienced the connection between our mind and our gut—the decision we made because it “felt right” the butterflies in our stomach before a big meeting the anxious stomach rumbling when we’re stressed out. While the dialogue between the gut and the brain has been recognized by ancient healing traditions including Aryuvedic and Chinese medicine Western medicine has failed to appreciate the complexity of how the brain gut and more recently the microbiome—the microorganisms that live inside us—communicate with one another. In The MindGut Connection Dr. Emeran Mayer Executive Director of the UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress offers a revolutionary look at this developing science teaching us how to harness the power of the mindgut connection to take charge of our health.
