Gastroparesis, Gut Health and Vagus Nerve Function, featuring Dr. Linda Nguyen
In this captivating episode of the Health Upgrade Podcast, we are joined by Dr. Linda Nguyen, a Clinical Professor of Medicine at Stanford University and Clinic Chief in the Digestive Health Center. Dr. Nguyen completed medical school at UCLA School of Medicine and GI fellowship training at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco, CA.
Dr. Nguyen shares insights into this multifaceted disorder, emphasizing the need to address not just the stomach but the whole person by considering factors like emotional trauma and sympathetic activity. Her clinical and research interests include GI motility disorders and disorders of gut brain interaction, with an emphasis on gastroparesis, functional dyspepsia and chronic abdominal pain. Her current research includes identifying biomarkers to better diagnose motility disorders, understanding the role/impact of physiologic testing on clinical care and exploring novel therapies for treatment of motility disorders.
As we discuss treatment options ranging from dietary changes to potentially promising, non-invasive nerve stimulation therapies, you will gain a holistic understanding of managing this challenging health condition. Tune into this enlightening episode to explore the interplay between diet, stress, and gut health as we unpack strategies for tackling gastroparesis.
