Frequent mood swings ? Deal with it by making your gut healthy first.
Here’s why it’s supported by science .
1. The gut is the second brain
The gut and brain are connected. Evidence suggests that microorganisms in the gut produce neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), all of which affect mood, stress, and anxiety.
2. The food you eat affects your mood
Changing your diet may help reduce symptoms of depression. According to a 2017 study published in the journal BMC Medicine 2 , those who started following a healthier, brain-friendly diet experienced greater improvements.
3. About 90% of the body’s serotonin production is produced in the intestines.
Serotonin, the “happy chemical,” helps regulate mood.
About 90% of serotonin is found in the cells lining the digestive tract. Only about 10% is produced in the brain 3 .
