Welcome to today’s ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from one of our guests that you might have missed.

You know how people tell you to trust your gut? Seriously, you should listen to it. It turns out your gut can play a huge role in your mental health (95% of the serotonin in our body is housed in the gut!). So we're throwing it back to some key info with clinical psychologist Dr. Lauren Cook, who breaks down what tests and bloodwork to get, and how gut health is intrinsically linked to mental health.

Dr. Lauren Cook is a therapist, consultant, speaker, author and founder of Heartship Psychological Services. Specializing in anxiety, she helps individuals and couples work through generalized anxiety, phobias, social anxiety, OCD, and more. She has a podcast called The Boardroom Brain, and has written three books, including the forthcoming “Generation Anxiety: A Millennial and Gen Z Guide to Staying Afloat in an Uncertain World”.
