The connection between your gut and your brain is known as the gut-brain axis, a complex communication network involving your gut, nervous system, and brain.

While serotonin is active in the brain, about 90% of it is actually produced in your gut, specifically by cells in the intestinal lining. Microbes in the gut help digest food and produce metabolites that influence serotonin production causing a healthy balance of gut bacteria which promotes optimal serotonin levels, which positively affects mood and mental health.

Eating fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes feeds beneficial gut bacteria, encouraging their growth. This improves digestion, reduces inflammation, and supports serotonin production.

By nurturing your gut, you not only improve digestion but also support a healthier, happier mind.

It reduces the brain’s ability to reorganize and form new connections. It triggers an inflammatory response in the body and it may cause difficulties with managing stress, regulate emotions, and maintain a positive mood.
