“The Gut-Brain Connection: How Your Belly Affects Your Mood”

Ever had “butterflies” before a big moment? That’s your gut talking to your brain.

Research shows that the gut is often called the “second brain”—and for good reason. About 90% of serotonin, your mood-regulating hormone, is made in the gut.

Signs Your Gut Might Need Support

• Bloating, gas, or irregular digestion

• Brain fog or mood swings

• Anxiety or depression without clear cause

• Food sensitivities

How to Nourish Your Gut-Brain Axis

• Eat fermented foods like sauerkraut, kefir, or miso

• Add prebiotic fiber (bananas, oats, garlic)

• Reduce sugar and processed foods

• Get outside—sunshine and nature calm the nervous system

Your gut and brain are in constant conversation. When you take care of your digestive health, you often feel clearer, calmer, and more in tune with your needs.
