Your Gut, Your Mood, Your Life
A year ago, I couldn't make it through a day without bloating, brain fog, or sudden energy crashes. I tried cutting carbs, drinking more water, even switching multivitamins — but nothing stuck.
Then, after another sleepless night, I stumbled on a study linking gut bacteria to mental health. That night changed everything. It wasn't just about food. It was about my internal ecosystem. The next morning, I started over — not with willpower, but with microbiome mastery. π±

π¬ The Science of Gut‑Brain‑Body Connection
Your gut microbiome is a living network of trillions of microbes producing compounds— including neurotransmitters like serotonin (95% made in the gut)—that influence mood and immunity.
A Nature Reviews Gastroenterology (2022) paper links dysbiosis to inflammation, autoimmune conditions, and anxiety/depression.
Disrupted microbes can lead to “leaky gut,” letting toxins into your bloodstream and overloading detox organs like your liver.
