Up to 95% of our serotonin (the happy hormone!) is created in the gut, which is why the Speakmans are so passionate about making sure you’re eating well to support your mental health. Plus, Nik reveals how his bowels helped develop their Schema therapy, and neuroscientist daughter Liv pops into the sitting room to explain the concept of neural pathways.
