Gut Instincts: Dr. David Miller on Healing from the Inside Out
It takes knowing a lot about something to know that there's maybe someone who knows even more, and that's sort of like um, the irony.
Ever had a 'gut feeling' that something was off? Dr. David Miller, ND, also known as the 'Gut Gangsta', joins Dr. Talia Marcheggiani in this episode of The Good Mood Podcast to unpack the mysterious and powerful connection between our gut and brain. Dr. Miller dives into how our gut, often dubbed 'The Second Brain', communicates with our central nervous system via the vagus nerve, influencing everything from anxiety to digestion.
He shares his unique approach to naturopathic medicine, focusing on soothing gut inflammation to help manage stress and mental health issues. Dr. Miller’s approach is refreshingly straightforward—he believes that by calming the tissues in our stomach, we can significantly reduce the noxious stimuli that travel from our gut to our brain. This episode is packed with practical insights on how visceral manipulation and nutritional psychiatry can offer relief where conventional medicine sometimes falls short.
You'll hear about the benefits of herbal medicine and why sometimes, a gentler touch can be more effective in treating hidden, squishy organs. With his down-to-earth style, Dr. Miller makes complex topics accessible and engaging. His conversation with Dr. Marcheggiani is both enlightening and empowering, offering listeners actionable steps to improve their overall well-being.
Whether you're dealing with gut issues, mental health challenges, or just curious about alternative medicine, this episode offers a wealth of information that could change how you think about health. So, if you've ever wondered why your stomach seems to have a mind of its own or how your gut health could be affecting your mood, tune in to learn from the 'Gut Gangsta' himself.
