Reset Your Gut, Transform Your Mood: Simple Steps to a Better You

We’ve all had that feeling when we feel nervous and get butterflies in our stomach. That is the connection between your gut and mood!

Biotiful Gut Health Solution to your Gut problems
Our gut and mood: what’s it all about?
We often refer to the gut as our second brain because the gut and brain are derived from the same foetal tissue. One part becomes the central nervous system, and the other part becomes the enteric nervous system—the gut. The enteric nervous system is the network of nerves that spans your entire digestive tract, from your mouth all the way to your anus.

As the foetus develops, this tissue separates but remains connected by our 10th cranial nerve, called the vagus nerve. Our mood and gut are so heavily intertwined for this very reason, so look after your gut health, and you’re also caring for your mind and mood.
Gut microbes and mood
'A fascinating study conducted by John Cryan at the University of Cork found that in a germ-free environment, where there are no microbes, the brain does not develop normally. We need our microbes. They can even produce neurotransmitters like GABA (to help calm us), serotonin (our feel-good hormone), and dopamine (for pleasure, satisfaction and motivation).

Thankfully, there’s so much we can do to support our gut to improve our mood, and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. One of my favourite studies demonstrating this is called the Psychobiotic Diet. It is incredibly empowering, showing how much we can do to support the gut and mental health.'
