Decoding the Gut Brain Connection: Why the Gut Brain Connection is Crucial with Dr Christine Bishara

"Did you know over 70% of your immune system literally lives in your gut? Today’s episode is going to help you understand more about why that is so important and so much more. 

A sample of what you’ll hear in this episode:

·       Gut health begins in the womb

·       Nutrition is our body’s best doctor

·       Why the Vagus Nerve is SO important

·       How many tries does it take to get a toddler to like a food? (#momhack)"

Dr Christine Bishara

Dr Christine Bishara, MD is the New York City-based founder of From Within Medical, a medical wellness practice that places emphasis on the mind-body and gut-brain axis to prevent and manage disease, as well as the author of the book The Gut Revolution Change Your Gut, Change Your Life

With over 20 years of clinical experience, time and time again, Dr Bishara has discovered that the connection between the mind/body and gut/brain axis systems plays a significant role in disease prevention and management, but it has not been adequately addressed. She even has some research that helps explain why kids didn’t suffer as much from the covid19 illness.
