Dr. Carnahan explains how the gut and brain communicate via the vagus nerve which acts as a superhighway between the two, mediating hormones, neurotransmitters, microbes, inflammatory and healing molecules. She shows how a healthy gut is key to modulating inflammation and neuroinflammation throughout the system and the brain, and shows the key factors that disrupt gut permeability and healthy neurotransmitter production.
