## Resource

We often think about mental health in terms of neurons and brain chemicals. But that's only part of the picture. After all, the brain is connected to everything, and there's actually a chemical superhighway between your gut and brain that has enormous impact on mood and even clinical disorders like depression and anxiety. This week on The Gut Insiders, Chuck and Dr. B discuss why the microbes in your gut have such an outsized influence over our brains, and 7 tips you can deploy today that can improve your mental well-being.
