Nourishing the Gut for a Healthier Mind with Dr Brad Leech #6

In this jam-packed episode, I sit down with the incredibly insightful Dr. Brad to unpack one of the most powerful (yet often overlooked) relationships in the body: the gut-brain connection.

Together, we explore how what we eat, and how we live, can deeply influence our mental health, mood, and emotional resilience.

We explore:

• The gut-brain axis: what it is, how it works, and why it matters
• How stress affects the gut (yes, leaky gut is a thing, and it’s more common than you think!)
• The key role of dietary diversity in supporting your microbiome
• How protein intake supports neurotransmitter production and mood regulation
• Why gluten isn’t the villain it’s made out to be (and what to know before cutting it out)
• The hidden dangers of artificial sweeteners for gut and brain health
• Why the Mediterranean Diet continues to shine in both research and real life
• Simple, science-backed tips to improve your digestion and mental wellbeing today

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone wanting to feel better from the inside out - whether you're navigating anxiety, brain fog, low energy or just want to learn how to nourish your mind and body more intentionally.

I cannot wait for you to listen to this one my friends! ✨
