Ep 038: The Brain-Gut Connection Explained

Dr. Barry Sears has dedicated the last 35 years of his research career to studying the links between diet, hormones, and health and is dedicated to restoring a state of health that can be controlled by reducing inflammation in your body. In his research, he studies dietary control of hormonal response and develops innovative approaches to help treat and reverse silent inflammation, the leading cause of cardiovascular disease and Type-2 diabetes. This same anti-inflammatory diet is highly therapeutic for ADHD and Autism. His research has led to his best-selling books The Zone, Mastering the Zone, Zone Perfect Meals in Minutes, and had additionally penned The Soy Zone, The Anti-Aging Zone, The OmegaRx Zone, Toxic Fat, A Week in the Zone, Zone Meals in Seconds, Top 100 Zone Foods, The Mediterranean Zone, and his newest release, The Resolution Zone.
