New Huberman Lab podcast out now: SCIENCE OF YOUR GUT SENSE & THE GUT BRAIN AXIS w/Dr Diego Bohorquez @dukeuniversity - On the episode of the Huberman Lab podcast out now, my guest is Dr. Diego Bohórquez, PhD, professor of medicine and neurobiology at Duke University and a pioneering researcher into how we use our ‘gut sense.’ - He describes how your gut communicates to your brain and the rest of your body through hormones and neural connections to shape your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. - He explains how your gut senses a range of features such as temperature, pH, the macro- and micronutrients in our foods, and much more and signals that information to the brain to affect your food preferences, aversions, and cravings. - Dr. Bohórquez also describes his early life in the Amazon jungle and how exposure to traditional agriculture inspired his unique expertise combining nutrition, gastrointestinal physiology, and neuroscience. - We discuss how the gut and brain integrate sensory cues, leading to our intuitive “gut sense” about food, people, and situations. This episode provides a scientific perspective into your gut sense to help you make better food choices and, indeed, to support better decision-making in all of life. - This episode ought to be of interest to anyone seeking actionable tools to improve their gut health and to learn to tap into their “gut sense” for sake of better decision making, about food but also other aspects of life. - To access the episode in all formats please go to hubermanlab.com It’s timestamped in detail so you can navigate quickly to the specific topic/s most of interest to you. - Meanwhile, please put any questions in the comments section below this post and as always, thank you for your interest in science! - @hubermanlab @stanford.med @stanford - #neuroscience #science #ciencia #neurociencia #brain #gut #gutsense #vagusnerve #plants #protein #nutrition
