Episode #144 - Is Your Gut Causing Burnout? | Gabe Dough

What if burnout, anxiety, brain fog and emotional instability are not just problems of the mind, but signs that something deeper is going wrong in the gut?

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Gabe Dough, founder of Good Bru, to explore the gut-brain connection, chronic reflux, fatigue, dysbiosis, processed food culture, resilience, and why so many people still feel mentally and physically off even when they are trying to live better.

Gabe shares his own story of severe reflux and low energy, and how that struggle pushed him into a much deeper understanding of how gut health affects mood, focus, stress, emotional regulation and everyday wellbeing. This episode also explores a much bigger question: if the gut affects the brain, and the brain affects behaviour, what happens to a society fuelled by stress, ultra-processed food and constant overstimulation?

This is not just a conversation about digestion.

It is a conversation about resilience, self-command, healing from within, and whether modern culture is quietly damaging human potential from the inside out.

In this conversation we cover:

They chase the mood, the fatigue, the brain fog, and never once look at what is happening beneath it all.

Your gut has been talking to you the whole time.

This conversation is about finally learning to listen.
