Host:
Dr. Ritamarie
In this show you’ll learn:
- How bacteria in your digestive system may influence your moods, behavior, and feelings
- The real truth about how the way you digest your food influences your brain
- How your stomach acid affects the chemical communication system in your brain
Background:
If you’ve ever “gone with your gut” to make a decision or felt “butterflies in your stomach” when nervous, you’re likely getting signals from an unexpected source: your second brain. Hidden in the walls of the digestive system, this “brain in your gut” is revolutionizing medicine’s understanding of the links between digestion, mood, health, and even the way you think.
Scientists call this little brain the enteric nervous system (ENS). And it’s not so little. The ENS is two thin layers of more than 100 million nerve cells lining your gastrointestinal tract from esophagus to rectum.
Join Dr. Ritamarie as she discusses how what’s going on in your gut could be affecting your brain.
Dr. Ritamarie is the founder of the Institute of Nutritional Endocrinology, and has over 23 years of clinical experience as a functional medicine practitioner and clinical nutritionist. She’s worked with thousands of people around the globe to restore balance to the hormones that control every day functions, and allows them the freedom of a body that is energetic, strong. and vibrant.
Her training and certifications in chiropractic, acupuncture, herbal medicine, clinical nutrition, and HeartMath, combined with her passion for creating delicious meals that heal the body. allow her to have a truly integrative and holistic approach that gets to the root cause rather than band-aiding health issues with symptom-suppressing strategies.
