Your Gut and Brain Are in Constant Conversation
Feb 17, 2026
Anxiety.
Low mood.
Burnout that doesn’t seem to lift.
What if part of the story isn’t just in your mind — but in your gut?
In this week’s episode of Master Stress with Dr. S, we explore the gut–brain connection and why digestion and mental health are biologically inseparable.
Your gut and brain are in constant, two-way communication — through the vagus nerve, immune signals, and even microbial metabolites. When one is dysregulated, the other feels it.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How the gut–brain axis influences mood and cognition.
- Why anxiety and digestive symptoms often show up together.
- The role of the vagus nerve and immune signalling.
- Practical ways to support gut–brain health through mindful eating and consistent rhythms.
- Why personalised gut testing can offer deeper insight.
This is where nutritional psychiatry meets nervous system regulation — and where healing becomes more integrated.

When we support the gut, we often calm the mind. And when we regulate the nervous system, digestion improves too.
With care,
