Robert Whitfield MD explains how the gut-brain axis controls digestion and affects energy, mood, hormones, and sleep. He describes constipation and diarrhea as absorption problems and recommends removing gluten, dairy, and seed oils from your diet.
Because it will become a factor both in how your gut behaves. And so everybody listening. There's this thing called the gut brain axis. It's not a figment of your imagination. It actually is a big component. And. And people have heard the term probably loosely called leaky gut. So you can have problems, and we'll just say the word elimination is how you get rid of the waste. But people have difficulty with their gut, can have diarrhea or constipation. Either one. Either situation is bad. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Because it's an absorptive problem. And when I mean absorption, if you can't get what you need out of the food you're taking in, then everything else will suffer. You know, from an energy standpoint, you'll suffer. From a mood standpoint, you'll suffer from a hormone standpoint, which generates and regulates all the systems that you can imagine that'll suffer. So then your sleep will go. And it just is a slippery, slippery slope. So when we talk about, you know, and people think I'm being mean to them, when I say just cut out gluten and dairy and don't use seed oils, they're like, well, what can I eat? There's so much to eat, right?
