Common questions
What is the gut-brain connection?
The gut and brain communicate through the vagus nerve, hormones, and the immune system. About 95% of serotonin is produced in the gut. Poor gut health can contribute to anxiety, depression, and brain fog.
Do probiotics actually work?
Evidence supports specific strains for specific conditions. Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains show the most evidence. Fermented foods (yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut) are often more effective than generic supplements.
What is leaky gut?
Leaky gut (intestinal permeability) is when the gut lining allows partially digested food and bacteria to pass into the bloodstream. It is associated with autoimmune conditions, food sensitivities, and chronic inflammation.
How does gut health affect mood?
The gut microbiome produces neurotransmitters including serotonin, dopamine, and GABA. Dysbiosis is linked to depression, anxiety, and cognitive issues. Improving gut health through diet and fermented foods can measurably improve mood.
