99% of your DNA isn’t human — and it’s running the show.

In this mind-bending episode, Adele and Sam uncover how the trillions of microbes in your gut influence:
🧠 Mood, anxiety & trauma recovery
💡 Neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine & GABA
🔥 Inflammation, cravings & even your body clock

We bust outdated myths (goodbye serotonin hypothesis of depression) and explore how stress and trauma hijack gut health — triggering everything from anxiety to diabetes. You’ll also hear the real story on microbiome testing, probiotics, and why quick-fix trends like DIY fecal transplants can backfire.

If you’ve ever wondered why your gut feelings are so powerful, this episode is your deep dive into the science and the solutions.

Tune in and learn how to harness your “second brain” for lasting mental and physical health.
