Science Friday · How does the gut-brain connection work? · 8 Jul 2026 podcast

But I think the other thing I want to just kind of point out about that is, you know,

When we're talking about something like depression and anxiety, to use that as an example, I think about that as being part of this gut-brain connection.

I don't think of it as being purely in the head, just as I think of a lot of this as not being purely in the gut.

And so I think it's wrong to go completely in the other direction and say, let's just focus on diet when we're thinking about depression.

I think we all have to think about

looking at that connection, which often forms more of a connection, less of a connection, more of a vicious loop.

How are we going to treat the brain in our heads and the brain in our guts, right?

Like I start people on anti-depression medications all the time for their GI symptoms, right?

And vice versa.

And at the same time, we need to also be thinking about diet.

But I think there's often, there's one side of maybe more traditional medicine or these quick kind of visits where you say, all I've been told is to take a medicine.

then maybe you go to a more holistic fracture, and all you get is sometimes supplements or lifestyle.

We have to find that medium that is still very rigorously science-based, and that exists, but it just, our model isn't always set up to have those longer conversations.

Yeah, I think that's a really keep that friend.

There's a statistic that has been floating around for a few years now, which is that 40% of Americans, their daily lives are disrupted by their bowel movements.

After we potty train, for the most part, everyone just shuts the door, locks it, and nobody really knows what anyone else is doing there behind closed doors.

And nobody's checking in from time to time.

Not really your doctor, not your parents, certainly not your friends.

Nobody's asking like, hey, do you like squat down when you go?

Like nobody's checking in on these kinds of like very fundamental questions.
