The Gut-Brain Connection: How Your Gut Health Affects Your Mood and Mental Wellness Aug 30, 2024

Show notes

You might think that connection between your diet and your mental wellness is all about how food impacts the brain. But that’s only a small part of it. Turns out, what’s more important is how that food impacts your gut. Your gut and brain are more connected than you think and there’s a lot of truth to that “gut” feeling. This week we’re diving into the gut-brain connection. What should you eat, or not eat? Should you take probiotics? We’re exploring all of this and more.

SHOW NOTES:

Klaire Labs Ther-Biotic Complete - 25 Billion CFU Probiotic Supplement - Lactobacillus Rhamnosus + 11 Other Probiotic Species - Hypoallergenic Probiotic for Gut Health + Immune Support.

Rant Therapy - We Need To Talk About All Gender Bathrooms Aug 27, 2024

Show notes

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life! And if you’re not privy to the first-hand vent-a-thon, then being a fly on the wall listening is hopefully equally therapeutic and also maybe entertaining.

Welcome to Rant Therapy, a podcast short powered by the hosts of the Happy Eating podcast, Brierley Horton and Carolyn Williams, where we periodically share our real-life venting sessions with each other—AKA what we’re “so over”.

What is Brierley “So Over” this week?

I’m So Over All Gender Bathrooms!
