@garybrecka: What actually creates your mood? In this episode, I break down the relationship between the gut, neurotransmitters, and emotional regulation, including the important role serotonin plays throughout the body. The gut-brain connection is real, but autism spectrum disorder is complex and can't be reduced to a single neurotransmitter or nutritional cause. What this conversation can do is give us another reason to take gut health seriously when we're looking at the bigger picture of mental and emotional health.
