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

And there's a million videos like this.

And for the first time, you're somebody who's been suffering and you feel heard.

You feel seen.

You feel like you're connected to a person.

And that is, I think, almost like 80 percent of the gut health space right now.

It's coming from people who are not physicians or the scientists, but it's coming from people who are helping connect with somebody who has been a little bit dismissed by or greatly dismissed by the health care system.

And I think that is the darker side of why this has become so popular.

Help me reframe.

Please reframe.

We all grow up thinking about our gut as plumbing.

I'm the daughter of a neuro gastroenterologist like Dr. Meyer.

And we have known for centuries that your gut is a brain.

It contains 500 million nerve cells.

That is more nerve cells that are in your spinal cord.

And that brain, for some animals, it's the only brain they got.

We call it the enteric nervous system.

We humans have evolved to have a second brain in our head.
