Exploring New Pathways of Discovery for Eating Disorders

Our internal organs emit a cascade of signals which propagate throughout the body before reaching the brain.

Dr. Khalsa discusses how interoception is critical to understanding how crosstalk between the gut and brain influences eating disorders.
