“Overall, this is a great book that encourages you to 'take charge of your gut to optimize your mind and your mood'. This is a book that you would reluctantly lend to friends, in the fear that they might not return it.” –Lancet

In 2000, a flood in Walkerton, Canada contaminated the water and sickened an entire town. It was a revealing example of the gut-brain axis in action.

We tend to think of ourselves as philosophical creatures, but from an evolutionary perspective, we are basically gonads with supporting organs.

Microbes in our gut help protect us from pathogens and play a key role in digestion. New research suggests the world's most widely used herbicide could be altering these beneficial bacteria—an effect researchers say warrants further study. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…

I was having major gut issues for a time, related to MCAS/NCGS/Leaky Gut, which also caused a lot of neuroinflammation, and quercetin, lutin, rutin, curcumin, and resveratrol really made a huge difference for me. Bromelain isn't technically a polyphenol, but it works synergistically with quercetin to improve bioavailability and also reallly helped a lot.

The most actionable knowledge with the potential to transform human health often lies at the intersection of traditional scientific disciplines, rather than within any one field. By design, each discipline can only capture a piece of the whole.
As members of the scientific process, we each have a piece of the puzzle. My diverse training in the lab and in clinics has brough me to feel increasingly compelled and equipped to focus on the connections between the body, mind, biology, and human experience. That's brought us to study the energetic processes that scale from genes to the whole person—from organelle to organism.
For our group and the developing field of mitochondrial psychobiology, studying mitochondria has served as a productive lens to bring into view the role of energy in the complex processes that sustain health or falter in diseases.
Scientific integration often begins with the uncomfortable position at the fuzzy intersection of disciplines. But it's also what allows us to build a more complete scientific framework for some of the toughest problems, like understand the healing process and what allows each person to flourish.
