The Gut Microbiome and Brain Connection

The podcast discusses the connection between the gut microbiome and the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA. It's now understood that a healthy gut microbiome can produce these feel-good hormones, which then travel to the brain and have a positive impact on mood. The absence of these neurotransmitters in people with dysbiotic bacteria, along with the presence of glyphosate (found in many foods), can lead to increased anxiety and depression. Buying organic and biodynamic foods, as well as consuming polyphenol-rich foods like coffee and green tea, can support a healthy gut microbiome.
