S5E5: The Gut Brain Connection: Can Diet Influence Mental Illnesses?

In this episode of Look Again: Mental Illness Re-Examined, host Faydra Aldridge dives into the fascinating connection between gut health and serious mental illness. Joined by Dr. Amedeo Minichino, a clinical academic psychiatrist at the University of Oxford, they explore how the trillions of bacteria in our gut, known as the microbiome, could influence brain function and play a key role in conditions like schizophrenia. Dr. Minichino discusses emerging research on how gut health might inform personalized treatments, the potential for early intervention in psychosis, and how diet could be a powerful factor in mental health care.  In addition to our primary funder BC Partners, this episode is brought to you by Castanet (https://www.castanet.net/) , the Okanagan’s trusted source for news, events, and community updates.
