Dr Amy Loughman: Why We Get Butterflies in Our Stomach

That fluttery feeling before a speech, a first date or tough conversation is more than nerves. Dr Amy Loughman explains what is happening inside the body when stress kicks in, how the gut and brain communicate, and why those butterflies are often a sign that the body is trying to help rather than sabotage us.

Guest: Dr Amy Loughman, Senior Lecturer in Psychology, University of Melbourne

Presenter: Warren Andrew
