In episode 6, we ask whether your digestive system can make your anxiety worse. The answer is most likely, yes. This episode is all about helping you understand some of the different ways digestion and your brain interact to either amplify your anxiety or create it in the first place. Solutions wise we’ll touch on include how increasing your dietary fibre can help and the role probiotics can play, explicitly suppressing the inflammation the immune system causes within the brain from digestion.

So, estimates on just how much the global anti-ageing industry is worth currently range from US$30 to over US$100 billion. Creams, serums and just about anything that can be applied or ingested most likely, it seems, has some form of anti-ageing potential. For a price, of course. In this episode, Philip talks about another form of ageing, internal ageing. More importantly, we will look at your genes and how you can use bioactive ingredients in food to express their potential to reverse the agein...

The chances that IBS affects either you or someone you know, whether in the form of bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhoea, reflux or nausea, are pretty high in these modern times. Mostly, though, the mystery surrounding its solution or how it started in the first place can remain unsolved. This mystery is what we are here to explore in this episode and interestingly, it may be explained by another emerging condition, SIBO.

Probiotics, prebiotics or a combination of both? Let's take a more detailed look at some of the fundamental elements of antibiotic recovery and how you can take control. For example, probiotics can help with some acute symptoms, such as antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, especially in children. Prebiotics, in the form of dietary fibre, can help rejuvenate the diversity of the microbial environment. Combining the two may improve your natural resistance (read immunity) to opportunistic microbes movi...

Food concerns often precede other google searches people make to solve digestive problems such as bloating, gas, or digestive discomfort. It's a common concern I see in the clinic too, patients report, "I just have no idea what foods I'm eating cause these problems." Often, the solution can lie within addressing the function of the organs of the digestive system—those same organs breaking the food down and absorbing the nutrients that eventually interact with the body.
