Elizabeth Gehrman has written “Probiotics on the Brain” which appeared October 12 in the Boston Globe Magazine and online here.
Gehrman spotlights Dr. James Greenblatt, a psychiatrist and the chief medical officer of Walden Behavioral Care in Waltham, Massachusetts who uses probiotics along with traditional medicine in his practice.
The discovery of a gut-brain axis across which microbes “talked” to the brain lit up the medical community at both ends: gastrointestinal as well as psychiatric health could be impacted.
