Hello everyone. If you’ve been reading BHK, you already know that my mission is to help you take care of your brain while still eating delicious food. After last week’s guest post about probiotics by of , one of you messaged me to say: Emily is like the BHK of the gut health world! It’s true. Conversely, I am like the Second Brain of the brain health community. All of this is to say that even though we come to you from opposite ends of the gut-brain-axis, we are serving up the same science.

Hello, Brain Health Ambassadors. I am writing to you from the screened-in porch of my home in the desert in New Mexico. I love writing here in the early morning while I savor my daily coffee. I have been so immersed in today’s topic that our local hummingbird is barely distracting me as she swings by to check out the aloe vera blooms. Did you know that a niche of gut bacteria is dedicated to metabolizing estrogen in the body?

Be sure to check out the conversation we are having in the comment section. Thank you, Emily, for answering all of our questions about probiotics! There’s still time to win a copy of Emily’s book Genius Gut. Find all the details here.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to the second post in our gut microbiome mini-series. In case you missed it, part one was about the recent finding that people living with Alzheimer’s have a typical gut microbiome profile. In other words, Does Alzheimer’s Begin In the Gut? I look forward to seeing some of you today at 1 pm MDT for a one-hour webinar in collaboration with Julie Fratantoni, PhD: Brain Fog & Women’s Hormones: 6 practical steps to get your thinking and focus back.

Hello, Brain Health Ambassadors! I am excited to be kicking off a new mini-series on BHK all about the gut microbiome. No doubt you’ve heard about the gut microbiota, also known as the estimated 100 trillion microbes that reside in your gut. Feed the beneficial gut bugs the right foods and they give back in a myriad of ways. Not only can they make or break a healthy immune system, they help cultivate brain health, too.
