Summary

Dr. Amy Shah, author of “I’m So Effing Hungry”, explains the science behind cravings, the gut-brain connection, and the mind-blowing concept of psychobiotics (how your gut microbiome changes your mental state).

Amy believes we’re missing the connection between the brain, the immune system, and the gut microbiome. New science is showing how influential the gut really is in controlling all aspects of our health and vitality. From motivation to cravings and even your personality, your gut impacts it all.

Tune in to learn more about why it’s time to prioritize your gut health, for wellness’ sake!

Dr. Amy Shah is a double board certified doctor and author who shares useful tips for resetting your gut biome and getting your hormones back on track. Amy is the author of I’m So Effing Tired as well as her new, upcoming book, I’m So Effing Hungry: Why We Crave, What We Crave – And What to Do About It.
