#28: The Brain Gut Connection with Dr Rabia Lalani

25th Aug 2019

Today on the Podcast I’m speaking to Dr Rabia Lalani, a Gastroenterologist and clinical research fellow at the Wingate Institute of Neurogastroenterology from Queen Mary University.

Dr Rabia is in the process of creating a guide using slow deep breathing techniques with audio-visual biofeedback for relief of anxiety & digestive discomfort.

On this pod we’ll be focusing on:

• The gut brain-axis
• Functional gut issues
• How stress impacts gut health
• Living with gut issues
• The impact of lifestyle interventions such as breathing

You’ll find the recipe video that I cooked for Dr Rabia  - Tarragon and Sun-dried Tomato Savoury Oats - on the show on my youtube channel so you can see how delicious and easy it was to make .. even whilst recording a podcast!

On the recording, at 1.03:40 - 1.03:49 (approx) Dr Rabia said lowers your threshold to stress and would like to confirm that the term here should have been raises your threshold to stress.
