How Gut Bacteria Cause Brain Fog, Anxiety & Early Alzheimer’s with Dr. Steven Gundry
Myers Detox Podcast
Intro
This chapter explores the connection between gut microbiome and brain health, highlighting its impact on neurological disorders like anxiety and Alzheimer's. It emphasizes the role of diet in maintaining gut balance and its significance in improving mental health.
You’re not just what you eat—you're what your microbes eat. And some of them? They might be making you anxious, addicted, or even depressed.
Dr. Steven Gundry says your microbiome may be hijacking your brain—and your mood.
The former world-renowned heart surgeon turned gut-health pioneer is back to share his latest discoveries, and they’re wild. We’re talking about bacteria in the brain, microbiomes that reward eating disorders, and the shocking reason Alzheimer’s drugs keep failing.
Learn why your gut is the root of mental health issues and how specific bugs in your belly may literally be driving addiction.
Dr. Gundry also explains the exact gut-healing protocol he uses in his clinic (yes, he still sees patients six days a week) that you can implement today.
"We know there is an eating disorder microbiome, and these bugs, I believe and others believe, take over your brain and cause you to eat this way." ~ Dr. Steven Gundry
