My mother is a dietitian and she started a podcast this year where she’s talked a lot about the microbiota and how it affects our organisms in a lot of different ways.

For instance, did you know that bacteria in our guts help us “digest” and expel heavy metals?

In the third part of the episodes about the microbiota[0] she talks about the gut-brain axis:

> l’intestino può comunicare al cervello uno stato di disagio o disbiosi procurando, oltre al gonfiore, anche un possibile stato d’ansia o abbassamento dell’umore

that translates more or less to:

> the gut can communicate with the brain a dysbiotic state causing, in addition to swelling, a state of anxiety

The podcast is in Italian, but the transcriptions can be easily translated in English.
