The gut and brain communicate constantly, forming the gut-brain axis. This connection involves physical, chemical, and neural pathways, influencing digestion, mood, pain, and cognitive function.

The gut or “second brain” communicates back and forth with your actual brain. They are connected in two main ways:

Physically: The vagus nerve is the gut’s direct connection to the brain. It controls messages to the gut as well as the heart, lungs, and other vital organs.

Chemically: The gut also connects with the brain through chemicals like hormones and neurotransmitters that send messages. The chemical messages that pass between the gut and the brain can be affected by the bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live in the gut called the “gut microbiome.” The bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live in the gut may be beneficial, harmless, or harmful.

I had the opportunity to speak at An Post HQ on Monday, June 9th for a special podcast recording focused on one of the most important – and often overlooked – aspects of health: your gut.

From explaining how digestion actually works, to breaking down IBS, food intolerances, probiotics, and even how your gut talks to your brain — we covered it all in a really insightful conversation.

Huge thanks to the team at An Post for the invitation and for recognising the value of gut health in overall wellbeing.

What is SIBO?

SIBO occurs when bacteria that normally reside in the large intestine migrate and multiply excessively in the small intestine. This overgrowth can interfere with nutrient absorption and lead to various gastrointestinal symptoms. Factors contributing to SIBO include impaired gut motility, structural abnormalities, and certain medical conditions.
