Why they belong together

Your gut and your brain are in constant conversation.

Nerves, hormones, immune signals and the bacteria in your gut all link digestion with mood, focus and sleep. Most people have felt that first-hand, whether as a stressful week that upset their stomach or a bad night that clouded their thinking.

This connection has been Dr. Gurrala’s particular interest throughout his career. If you have seen one specialist for your stomach and another for your sleep, and nobody has connected the two, it’s a useful place to start.

Questions

What patients ask Dr. Gurrala.

What is the gut-brain connection?

The gut and brain communicate constantly through nerves, hormones and immune signals, and gut bacteria play a part too. That is one reason digestive problems often come with changes in mood, stress and sleep. Dr. Gurrala considers both at Delos Longevity in Sterling, Virginia.

Is Dr. Gurrala a psychiatrist?

Dr. Gurrala is a physician with more than 20 years of experience in integrative medicine and postgraduate training in psychiatry from Georgetown University Hospital. If you need specialized care beyond what Delos provides, he will tell you.

What if I’m in crisis?

Delos isn’t an emergency service. If you are thinking about harming yourself or are in crisis, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911.
