Did you know your gut and brain are in constant conversation -  and what they say to each other could be driving your cravings, low mood, and brain fog? In this episode, Dr Mary Barson and Dr Lucy Burns break down the gut-brain axis in plain English: what it is, why it matters, and how poor food choices, chronic stress, and lack of sleep can throw it off balance. Learn how certain gut bacteria send signals that make you crave sugar - and how to starve them out. Plus, discover simple, science-backed ways to calm your nervous system, reduce cravings, lift your mood, and even support your immune system. If stress or food cravings sometimes feel out of control, this episode is for you.
