Dr. Emeran Mayer Speaker Biography
Emeran Mayer is a world-renowned gastroenterologist and neuroscientist with 40 years of experience studying the clinical and neurobiological aspects of how the digestive system and the nervous system interact in health and disease. He has received numerous awards, including the Distinguished Mentor Award from the American Gastroenterological Association, the Ismar Boas medal from the German Society for Gastroenterology and Metabolic Disease, and the 2016 David McLean Award from the American Psychosomatic Society.
His long-term research focus on the role of gut microbiota-brain interactions in chronic visceral pain has expanded to include inflammatory bowel disorders, emotion regulation, chronic visceral pain, food addiction and obesity, cognitive decline, and autism spectrum disorders.
His research has been continuously supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He has published over 425 peer reviewed scientific articles, including 100 chapters and reviews, co-edited four books, and organized several interdisciplinary symposia in the area of mind-body interactions and chronic visceral pain.
He has published the Mind-Gut Connection book in 2016 which became and remained an Amazon bestseller in Gastroenterology, and which has been translated into 16 languages. His next book, The Mind Gut Immune Connection, which links the health of soil and plant microbiomes to gut and brain health, was published in 2023 and just appeared as a paperback. His latest book Interconnected Plates is a Mediterranean inspired cookbook for optimal gut health.
The Mind-Gut Conversation
We have all experienced the connection between our mind and our gut—the decision we made because it “felt right”; the butterflies in our stomach before a big meeting; the anxious stomach rumbling we get when we’re stressed out. While the dialogue between the gut and the brain has been recognized by ancient healing traditions, including Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, Western medicine has by and large failed to appreciate the complexity of how the brain, gut, and more recently, the gut microbiota—the microorganisms that live inside our digestive tract—communicate with one another.
In The Mind-Gut Conversation, Dr. Emeran Mayer, professor of medicine and executive director of the UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress, offers a revolutionary and provocative look at this developing science, teaching us how to harness the power of the mind-gut connection to take charge of our health and listen to the innate wisdom of our bodies.

Dr. Mayer joined our Book Club event to talk about the Mind Gut Connection and he nailed it out of the park. We all learned a lot and he provided an easy understanding to a complex subject.
