Get Your Brain, Gut and Immune System in Synch AUTHOR Terri DeNeui, DNP, APRN, ACNP-BC CATEGORY Gut Health SOCIAL @EVEXIASMEDICAL Many people tend to place different chronic illnesses in separate, tidy, little silos and look for cures in pill form. Have high blood pressure? There’s a pill for that. Feeling anxious and depressed? Pop a pill! If you find yourself stuck in this siloed mindset—while struggling with chronic illness, weight loss problems, allergies, insomnia, anxiety or depression symptoms—it’s not your fault.
