Did you know your stomach could be fueling your anxiety and depression? It’s true. Your gut is often called the “second brain” for a reason. It houses millions of neurons and produces more than 90% of your serotonin — the key hormone that stabilizes mood and promotes a sense of well-being.
When your gut is out of balance, it can lead to poor digestion, inflammation, and reduced nutrient absorption. All of this can contribute to feeling foggy, anxious, or even depressed. Simply put: a healthy gut supports a healthy mind.
So, how can you support your gut every day? Start by eating a diet rich in fiber, fermented foods, and whole, unprocessed ingredients. Think:
- Leafy greens like spinach and kale
- Fermented foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi, and kefir
- Fiber-rich foods like chia seeds, and berries
- Healthy fats from, SMASH fish (salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and halibut), avocados and olive oil.
And to give your gut extra support, I recommend my Digestive Kit. It’s a powerful blend designed to restore balance, improve digestion, and help your body absorb the nutrients it needs to support both your physical and mental health.
Take care of your gut, and your mind will thank you. Let’s get you feeling your best from the inside out!
