Mind Your Health Podcast with Dr. Connie Cheung

The Mind Your Health Podcast is about all things Gut Health! As a healthcare practitioner with over 25 years of experience, Dr. Connie Cheung focuses on a holistic approach integrating her educational background in Psychology, Nutrition, Physical Therapy, Functional Medicine, and Yoga. She started the Mind Your Health Podcast to help as many people as possible get rid of pesky gut symptoms so that they can look and feel their best while living their fullest lives. Dr. Connie has struggled and lived with life threatening autoimmune conditions, and she’s personally experienced the limitations in our current medical and holistic healthcare systems. She finds that our current health and wellness systems are broken due to their over-emphasis on treating only the parts and pieces of the puzzle, rather than considering the WHOLE body. It’s her mission in life to help those suffering from chronic symptoms or illnesses by helping them get to the TRUE root cause, as opposed to offering surface level approaches that fail to address the whole body. Gut health is the foundation for optimal health. In the Mind Your Health Podcast, Dr. Connie shares her knowledge and personal EXPERIENCE, while providing simple and practical solutions that are not only scientifically based, but timeless and effective which will help deliver long-term vitality and health from the inside-out. Her unique perspective in putting together both Eastern and Western medical concepts in an easy-to-follow framework that you can easily APPLY in your own life will be life changing, giving you confidence in yourself to live your healthiest life.

You’ll learn that your WHOLE body is bigger than the sum of its parts.

Dec 12, 2023

In today's Mind Your Health podcast episode, we explore the intricate workings of the Enteric Nervous System (ENS) and its influence on our health. The journey begins with an in-depth look at the ENS, a complex network of neurons in our gastrointestinal tract that is fundamental in managing the digestive process.

We delve into the complex role of the ENS in various stages of digestion, including swallowing, stomach functioning, and bowel movements. The episode also sheds light on the ENS's vital role in regulating the defecation reflex and how it affects our overall digestive health.

We get into how the gut’s production of serotonin can indirectly influence brain function, affecting our mood and mental health. This leads us to explore the intriguing relationship between gut health and anxiety, revealing how stress and anxiety can alter gut motility and neurotransmitter production.

🌿 Essential insights into how your Enteric Nervous System influences digestion, hormones, mental health, and skin.
