Do the bugs in your
Do the bugs in your gut influence whether you are anxious, depressed, clear-headed, or distracted? Well, it turns out quite possibly. Future depression prescriptions may be custom probiotics rather then Prozac. I invited Scott Anderson the author of the The Psychobiotic Revolution to speak with us today about this most interesting topic. We dive into this and the gut-brain axis, how diet influences the microbiota, fecal transplants, measuring the microbiota, anxiety, depression, and more.
About our guest:
Scott is a scientist and a science writer who was drawn from the wine country in California to work with horses in Ohio. There, Scott set up a laboratory to help develop equine prebiotics. He found that a less diverse microbiota was associated with colonic ulcers and poor performance. That ultimately led him to John Cryan and Ted Dinan (http://apc.ucc.ie/) , two pioneers of the gut-brain axis who found that gut microbes can affect the behavior of mice. Scott ended up writing a book with Cryan and Dinan called The Psychobiotic Revolution, from National Geographic (https://shop.nationalgeographic.com/p...) . It is now going into the second printing.
