E128: The Gut Brain Connection: How our gut health impacts our mind, hormones, and mental health with Heidi Hogarth

Where is 95% of serotonin is created?  In YOUR GUT! Clean gut + Good bacteria = MORE Seratonin AND a Happier Brain  Our bodies are amazing and far more interconnected than we often realize. Today's episode is part two of a fascinating conversation with naturopath, a mom of two, and a PMDD survivor, Heidi Hogarth. Heidi is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to understanding our body chemistry. I couldn't get enough! Today's episode covered: The connection between gut health & brain health Why it's important to focus on creating a healthy gut microbiome How anti-inflammatory diets help minimize extreme hormonal shifts What foods, supplements, and vitamins promote a healthy gut Using Tapping or EFT to help regulate stress What cycle syncing teaches us about our bodies I left this conversation feeling more intrigued about how our bodies work, and ready to hyperfocus on my next biology lesson.  It's also encouraging to know that there are simple diet changes and natural remedies we can make in our every day lives to bring ourselves to a more balanced hormonal and emotional state.  Learning about how your body works can REALLY help you live better. My hope is you take away at least one tip or piece of information that leads you down a path to healing.  Healing is hard work, but sooooo worth it, Successful Mama!  A big thank you to Heidi for helping women understand their bodies so they can do what they can to live a happy and healthy life.
