Anxiety, depression, PTSD and so many other aspects of mental health have been shown to benefit from an enhanced microbiome. But what does that even mean?!? And what practical steps do we take to enhance something we don't even understand in the first place? In this fascinating interview, Dr. Christopher Lowry, who has spent his entire career researching the answers to these questions, brings the realities and everyday practical steps to help us get there.

Christopher A. Lowry, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Integrative Physiology at the University of Colorado Boulder. Dr. Lowry’s research program focuses on interventions for the prevention and treatment of disorders including anxiety, depression, and PTSD. His research has an emphasis on the role of the microbiome-gut-brain axis in stress resilience, health, and disease.
