In this article, we will discuss the secret to reducing not only the symptom of anxiety but the symptoms of depression as well. It has everything to do with your microbiome. Microbiome means the bacteria in your gut.

The link between anxiety, depression, and your gut

The largest number of nerves outside your brain is located down in your gut. It is also important to note that your gut and your brain are bidirectional. This means that there is a huge communication line between your gut and your brain. This implies that what happens down in your gut will affect what happens up in your brain.

It is important to note that your gut microbiomes produce neurotransmitters, the implication being that your microbes produce all neurotransmitters like GABA, dopamine, serotonin. Serotonin, for example, has a great influence on your mood, and people experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression nearly always have gut problems.

Your gut also makes the vitamins, and there’s a strong relationship between all sorts of mood disorders and vitamin B deficiency.

If your gut is inflamed, that’s going to affect your mood. So, by getting rid of inflammation alone, you will elevate your mood.
