The Healthy Gut Podcast Ep.69
Traumatic brain injury and SIBO
If you’ve suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) you may have noticed that your gut behaviour has changed. This week Rebecca is joined by Kayle Sandberg-Lewis who specialises in TBI’s and their treatment. Kayle and Rebecca discuss how to identify a TBI, what happens to your brain when you experience a TBI, how this can affect your overall health and specifically the gut/brain connection.
In Today's Episode
In Episode 69 of The Healthy Gut podcast, we discuss:
TBI’s vs non TBIs
Why questioning is so important to determine if a TBI has occurred
What to do if you have a TBI
The differences between the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system, and how to identify which is dominant
The changes that can occur in the gut following a TBI
Why practicing mindful eating after a TBI is important
Why TBIs should be treated as a disease process instead of a static event
How closely the brain and the gut are interlinked
What treatments can help to resolve TBIs
The statistical likelihood of having another TBI
