36 minutes Posted Jan 20, 2022 at 8:01 am.

] Welcome to the Summit For Wellness Podcast

] Who is Steven Wright and what was his own health journey like

] Conventional medicine failed to take care of his condition, what made him decide to try making dietary changes

] Was a dietary change all that was needed to fix Steven's issues, or did it take even more work to get to where he is today

] Obviously when you are dealing with health complications that can lead to trauma that impacts mental health, but are there other direct links between gut health and brain health

] More practitioners need to be looking at the gut and its role in neurotransmitter production instead of just relying on drugs

] People who don't feel well might not remember what normal feels like anymore. How do you get people to recognize that what they are experiencing is not actually normal

] Guys tend to find gas/bloating related problems hilarious and think it is normal, however in a lot of cases this is a symptom you should pay attention to for worse gut issues

] What are some of the main supplements that are beneficial to the gut

] Our approach to medicate and not focus on the root causes leads us to not digesting foods which eventually makes our immune system respond to those foods

] Steven's final thoughts around gut health and brain health

] If someone isn't consuming much fiber, how does that impact the gut and butyrate production

] What does Steven Wright do daily to reach his vision of health

] Bryan Carroll: in the last couple of years, anxiety and other mental health challenges have increased dramatically. And oftentimes the remedy for mental health challenges is either a certain medications or therapy.

] However, there's other components within our body that can really impact the way our brain functions. And I think these areas are. Talked about enough and we're not doing enough research on how we can change these other areas within the body and how it can improve our overall mental health. What's up everyone.

] I'm Bryan Carroll and I'm here to help people move more, eat well and be adventurous in today. I have Steven Wright on the show to teach us all about how. Our guts are connected to our brains and vice versa and how it changes in one can really impact the other. So for example, some of our neurotransmitters are actually produced in the gut instead of the brain.

Show notes

With the increase in anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges, often times these are treated with medications or therapy.

Unfortunately the experience most people have on these treatments don't make them feel fantastic, just better than they were before. This is because we are treating symptoms and not the root causes.

In this episode, we explore how gut health impacts brain health with Steven Wright.
