About this listen
Episode Summary:
In this Somnilopod episode, we explore one of the most surprising and powerful sleep connections in modern wellness science: the gut–sleep axis. You'll learn how your gut microbiome, digestion, hormones, and the vagus nerve all play a role in how easily you fall asleep, how deeply you stay asleep, and how refreshed you feel the next morning.
What We Cover:
- The "second brain" living in your gut and what it tells your nervous system
- How gut bacteria influence serotonin, melatonin, and GABA
- Why late-night eating disrupts deep sleep cycles
- The stress → gut → sleep loop that keeps people wired and overtired
- Practical ways to support gut health for better sleep
- Everyday habits that strengthen the gut–brain connection
- How food timing affects circadian rhythms
- Simple, evidence-based lifestyle changes for more restorative rest
