The Gut-Brain Axis

What you consume feeds the microbiota of your gut, respiratory, and urogenital systems. Those microbiota influence the gasotransmitters in your body: gasses like nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide that behave like neurotransmitters. These are what drive pressure in the brain, oxidative stress, and the inflammatory feedback behind tics, depression, and more.

The Book I Recommend

Dr. Andrew Miles and Dr. Xuelan Qiu distilled decades of Classical Chinese Medicine and modern microbiome research into a single accessible volume. It covers what is essential for understanding food as medicine, and how to begin applying that for yourself in real ways. This is the foundation I want clients working from.

Take It Further

I'm always happy to use a consultation to go over the concepts the book presents, or to answer questions that arise once you've started reading. If diet is the piece you've been looking for, this is a good place to begin.
