    Your Gut Is Your Second Brain
    Jul 5 2024
    Because we've got the guts to tackle anything, we're diving deep (pun intended) into this myth with the help of gastroenterologist and founder of Wexford Gastro, Dr. Callum Pearce.

    Join us as we unravel the mysteries of the gut-brain connection. Can your gut really think for itself, or is it just a very opinionated digestive tract? Dr. Pearce gives us the lowdown on how intertwined our brain and gut truly are, shares tips on keeping your gut in top shape, and even answers the age-old question: Can you safely hold in a poop?

    We’ll also explore some crazy facts about the gut and the science behind those so-called "gut feelings.

    Prepare for an episode filled with way too many burps, awkward vocal exersizes, issues with dogs and recording on the road and plenty of F ups!
