Gut health is the most important factor in your ongoing immunity and general health.
One of the core teachings in Ayurveda is the importance of gut health and as a neurologist, I was fascinated by the gut-brain connection in particular. Even though modern medicine is only now beginning to discover the critical role of the microbiome in our overall health, particularly brain health, Ayurveda has been extolling this concept for thousands of years. The fastest way to shift our brain health is by first addressing our gut health — and the fastest way to improve our gut is to look at the chronic patterns of the mind. The gut and brain are really one functional unit and therefore inseparable.
