Abstract
In this episode of the Mind Gut Conversation, Dr Mayer discusses IBS pathophysiology with Jana Hoffman from Mahana Therapeutics. They dive into the topic of the Brain-Gut-Microbiome axis, discussing how each emotional state can trigger a unique plethora of physical symptoms e.g. Depression is associated with specific patterns, such as slow transit, lower bowel peristalsis activity, poor digestion and constipation, while anxiety seems to be causing the opposite kind of physical symptoms. They also discuss how Covid-19 is having a strong psychological impact on people and therefore on their gastrointestinal system.
