295: The Connection Between Gut Health, Behavior, and Picky Eating

Did you know that 90% of serotonin, an essential neurotransmitter for mood and attention, is made in the gut? This connection between the gut and brain explains why digestive health plays a crucial role in a child’s emotions, behavior, and even their ability to focus. That’s why it’s important that we eat foods that support gut health and enhance gut-brain communication while also reducing triggers that impact digestion and overall well-being.

The good news is that small changes can make a big difference. Even the pickiest eaters can make progress when their nervous system is supported and their gut is given the right nutrients to thrive. Let's dive deeper into how gut health influences behavior, focus, and emotional regulation, and explore simple, effective ways to nourish your child’s digestive system.
