If you want to learn how to use herbs medicinally and not only medicinally but also grow them,

I can think of little else that gets me excited as knowing I can literally grow our medicine right outside our back door, then you, my friend, are going to want to make

sure that you are registered and signed up for our herbal summer series. This is completely free, though you definitely could charge for it because it is

packed with information. Once you sign up starting in August, every week you are going to get an email from me going over my top 10 favorite herbs.

Each week we are going to pick one of those herbs and do a deep dive on how to grow that herb,

but more importantly, how to use it, including safety, and if you should use it or not if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

We go through all of the cautions, the medicinal properties, and its uses.

So when you get done done you will have in your pocket and hopefully by

that point in your medicine cabinet my favorite top 10 herbs to always have at the ready. Go to Melissa K Norris.com forward slash

summer herb and make sure that you get registered. Summer school is in session and it has never been better. Hey pioneers. Welcome to episode number 415. Today's episode is a very

fascinating one. So it is on the gut brain connection and it is truly fascinating. So if you have hung out with me for a while or listen to some of my previous podcast episodes, you know that we talk a lot about

gut health and how over 70% of our immune system is actually located in our gut. And so what we eat food wise not just

affects our digestion and overall health but it also affects our immune system.

But the fascinating thing is it goes beyond just our immune system and our gut health directly impacts so much more than just our

immune system because it impacts the way that our brain communicates to all of the other systems within our body and from the brain

to the gut obviously and that there's this whole connectivity pathway and it's really really fascinating and I'm very

excited to introduce you to today's guest on the podcast so today's guest is Dr. Emrin Mayer. He is a gut health expert,

MD world reknown and award winning gastronologist and neuroscientists and he has accumulated 35 years of

research on the clinical and neurobiological relationship between the digestive system and the nervous system.

And so it's a fascinating look.

I think you're really going to enjoy today's episode.

And one of the things that I found very interesting
