Seeking Answers in the Gut-Brain Connection: Dr. Nicholas Talley, Professor of Medicine at the University of Newcastle

Oct 17, 2024

Over a long and very active career as a researcher, clinician and educator, Dr. Nicholas Talley has witnessed the traditional mind/body dichotomy fade in relevance as science has determined just how integrated they really are. “The body talks to the mind, the mind talks to the body, and we're exploring how this happens and what we can do to interfere, if you like, to make a difference and perhaps restore health by doing so,” he says. Dr. Talley, a distinguished laureate professor at the University of Newcastle in Australia, is an international authority in the field of neurogastroenterology with more than 1,000 peer reviewed publications. Much of his work centers on disorders of gut-brain interaction, including functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome, and GI complications in diabetes. “What keeps me going is this idea that gut-brain connections are going to be very important, not just in gastrointestinal diseases, but in fact in many diseases that affect people across the spectrum of internal medicine.” Join Raise the Line host Caleb Furnas for a fascinating look at this burgeoning field as well as insights on probiotics, possible pharmaceutical interventions on the horizon and how artificial intelligence is impacting medical education.
