  • Bloating, Brain Fog & Anxiety: The Hidden Root Cause (And How to Fix It!)

    Bloating, Brain Fog & Anxiety: The Hidden Root Cause (And How to Fix It!)
    Feb 17 2025
    Angela welcomes gut health expert, Josh Dech, who explores the profound connection between gut health and mental well-being. Together they delve into the intricate relationship between the brain and gut, discussing how neurotransmitters produced in the gut influence mood and behaviour, emphasising the importance of diet, and highlighting the need for whole foods, the avoidance of intolerances, and the impact of histamines, particularly for those with conditions like Crohn's disease. KEY TAKEAWAYS The gut and brain are intricately connected, with a significant portion of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, being produced in the gut. This connection influences mental health, behaviour, and overall well-being.Symptoms like bloating, constipation, and acid reflux can indicate underlying gut issues. It's essential to listen to these symptoms as they can provide insights into one's overall health and potential imbalances in the gut microbiome.A diet rich in whole foods, tailored to individual tolerances, is crucial for maintaining gut health. Avoiding high-histamine foods is particularly important for those with conditions like Crohn's disease or colitis.While testing the gut microbiome can provide valuable information, symptoms should be the primary focus for assessing gut health. An organic acid test is recommended for a comprehensive view of overall health. BEST MOMENTS "If the factory that's producing these chemicals is on fire, you're not going to have the end result you're looking for." "I think everything comes from the gut until proven otherwise." "The irony is we go in with these antacids or proton pump inhibitors, and what do we do? We suppress it even further." "It's no wonder that 60% of all North American adults have some kind of diagnosed chronic condition." "If you have gut dysbiosis, an imbalance in your gut bacteria, you're going to end up with neuroinflammation, irritation, imbalanced brain chemistry."

Highly recommend for female athletes!

Angela does a great job targeting important topics for women and explaining them in a way that’s digestible and applicable. I love the bite size pods too because they’re short and informative!
