Did you know your gut affects your mood?

The intestines and the brain could not be further apart anatomically within our bodies. 

They are known to have different roles, with the brain often thought of as the ‘master’ and valued more highly than the gut.

However, research has shown that the gut and brain are intricately connected. 

They even communicate regularly through the enteric nervous system (ENS), two thin layers of more than 100 million nerve cells lining your gastrointestinal tract.

So, when either the brain or gut are disturbed…

Like during menopause...

It can create physical and physiological imbalances like:

• Mood Swings
• Anxiety
• Depression
• And even weight gain!

These symptoms start to arise when someone suffers from what is often called ‘leaky gut syndrome’.

What is Leaky Gut Syndrome?

It is when the intestinal wall has increased permeability.

The intestines are designed to act as a barrier to the things you consume, providing protection from potentially dangerous molecules, such as pathogens and toxins.

And when the intestinal barrier is damaged, due to certain triggers like oxidative stress or inflammation... 

Toxins, microbes, and undigested food particles can “leak” through the barriers and escape into your bloodstream.

Your immune system marks these particles as “foreign” and attacks them, causing elevated levels of inflammation.

Now why does it cause mood swings?

These toxins trigger inflammatory proteins called cytokines. 

Cytokines change the production and transmission of neurotransmitters responsible for your mood. And this leads to  negative emotions and fatigue.

According to researchers, 47% of people who are dealing with depression have an increased level of inflammation in the body. 

But on the bright side!

There’s a way for you to repair your leaky gut.

By following these  4 steps to a healthier and better gut:

Remove

Remove all inflammatory foods that can damage your gut such as gluten, dairy, corn, soy, and eggs. You’ll also need to ditch toxic foods including sugar, caffeine, and alcohol. You’ll also want to eliminate any gut infections you have, whether caused by Candida overgrowth, SIBO or small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, or parasites.

Replace

Replace the bad with the good. Adding digestive enzymes to your regimen will help support optimal digestion and nutrient absorption, as well as assist your body’s intestinal repair and inflammation responses.

Reinoculate

Restore the beneficial bacteria in your gut with high-quality, high-potency  probiotics to re-establish a healthy microbiome. I recommend 100 billion CFUs (colony forming units) while dealing with a leaky gut. Transition to 30 billion CFUs as a maintenance dose.

Repair

Provide your gut with the essential nutrients it needs to repair itself.

Eat a healthy diet full of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals) so that your gut has the necessary nutrients it needs to repair the leak.

Prebiotics are a must as they provide probiotics with the nutrients to colonize and proliferate faster in the gut.

PS. If you need a source of high-quality, high-potency probiotics to reinoculate your gut with healthy bacteria, and provide it with the nutrients to repair itself…
