Could Your Gut-Brain Connection Save Your Life?

What happens when your doctor doesn't listen to you? Or worse, what if your doctor tells you that what you're feeling is all in your head? What do you do? Who can you turn to? Well, that's exactly what happened to today's guest. In her late teens, Allison Post — health coach and author of "The Gut Wellness Guide" —began suffering from unexplainable and debilitating pains and infections. But every time she went to a doctor, she always heard the same thing: Nothing's wrong with you. They told her to take an antibiotic and some painkillers and wait for her symptoms to get better. Except they didn't. Pretty soon, Allison's worst fears became a reality as she found herself in an emergency ward with a 104 degree fever fighting for her life. What happened next changed Allison's life forever. She's become an advocate for personalized care and holistic medicine because she understands how important it is for people to know someone is really trying to understand what's wrong with them. On today's episode of the Dr. Gundry Podcast, Allison and I discuss her incredible story, what it means to truly listen to your body, and how you can use a few simple tools to radically change your health and your life.
