In this Episode Dr. Carolyn Dolan begins her series on the Gut Brain Connection by looking at the important role our digestive system plays in overall health. Dr. Dolan's own health journey started with a diagnosis of Leaky Gut. She was on a mission to find a way to heal her own health.

How did gut health play a role in the brain's health?
