Patient Education Series - The Gut Connection: Diet, Digestion and Microbiome

In this episode, Sam Cartwright explores the pivotal role of the gut in maintaining whole-body health, examining digestion as a dynamic, multi-system process rather than a simple breakdown of food. Sam explains how compromised gut function can contribute to systemic issues, from inflammation and immune dysregulation to mood imbalances and chronic disease. Through a functional lens, Sam discusses the integrity of the gut barrier, the clinical relevance of leaky gut, and the impact of the microbiome on broader physiological processes. Sam also clarifies the distinctions between food allergies and intolerances, as well as highlights the influence of the gut-brain axis—emphasising how stress and emotional wellbeing can shape digestive outcomes and chronic health. Discover how evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle strategies can complement your practitioner’s recommendations, to support you in optimising digestive function and uncover the powerful connection between your gut and your whole-body health.
