Learn more about your gut brain axis from Dr. Nikki DiNezza here: / @gutmicrobiomequeen
Your gut health directly impacts your mental health. From nutrient absorption that impacts the physical building blocks of the brain, to inflammation which can lead cytokines to damage the brain, to your microbiome which impacts your physical and mental health, your gut health is actually a huge contributing factor to your mental health. So in this video you’ll learn 4 1/2 ways to improve your gut health, which can improve your mental health. So real quick, let’s talk about the gut-brain-microbiome axis.
Every emotion has a brain component and a gut component- notice how many emotions are described as “A gut feeling, a kick in the gut, gut wrenching, sick to my stomach, butterflies in the stomach, etc.” During sleep, and when we dream the gut reacts to emotions and processes them, the gut literally works through the feelings of the day. So when the brain is healthy, and works through emotions, the gut can process emotions too. And vice versa.
We can help our gut be healthier by decreasing stress and increasing positive experiences. And we can help our brain be healthier by improving our gut health. And one of the best ways to do that is to foster a healthy microbiome.

Yay!! Can't wait to watch this video soon! Thanks Emma!
I commented this later on, but I thought I'd post it here, too :)
There is so, so much that can be done to promote gut microbiome health. You covered the 4 most important things in this video, but I will also share that a lot of "healthy eating" and "healthy living" advice has some research pointing back to the microbiome.
- Sleep: Your gut microbes have a circadian rhythm just like you do! It's called the "microbial clock"
- Exercise has been shown to increase gut microbiome diversity (meaning that it makes the microbiome healthier) and promote proper motility
- Yoga 2x per week has been shown to be equally effective as the low FODMAP diet in helping people with IBS
- Don't overdo simple/processed sugar: We've all heard this before for metabolic health, but it's important for keeping yeast in the gut in check, too!
Great video, as always, Emma!
👍
Dr. DiNezza does this mean that a certain eating window is best for the gut bacteria? I am terrible at fasting and sometimes wake up between 2-4 am to eat a meal so I can go back to sleep. Is there a minimum fasting amount that we need?
@@Joannabanana1989 I don't think it's even that complicated. Based off of my experience and the research, I'd say most people would do well to simply:
- Eat at approximately the same time every day (and not skip meals)
- Eat 3 "square meals" a day with a good balance of all the macros (carbs, protein, fat), fiber, and color at each meal
- Limit processed sugar (in the words of Michael Pollan, "treat treats as treats")
Sometimes, I'll have people eat some snacks, too, particularly if they are trying to gain weight or if they are malnourished. Another time when I might consider that is folks who struggle with hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

Wow that yoga fact is incredibly interesting, do you have any sources on that so I could read more?
I am a 72 year old woman and every time I leave the house I start looking for a bathroom to go #2. I have a hard time going any where. I have tried to many things that do not help. I am at my wits end. I can't travel or enjoy life because of it. Can you help?
I'm so sorry to hear that@@patbrandt6382! It's hard to say how much I can help based off of the limited amount we can share here. If you go to my website (linked in the description of each of my videos) and go to the appointments page you'll see a form to fill out. From there, we can do a chemistry call where you can share a bit more of your story and we can see if we'd be a good fit to work together.
Just getting into this. I never knew how important mental can affect gut. I thought I could never heel. I notice, the more I take care of my health. Like, eating healthy, exercise, and sleep good. I notice a change in gut health.
Gut health is so important and so tightly linked to mental health. We literally have a "second brain" in our gut. The gut microbes have a lot of natural connections to us just like the brain has. I'm so glad you did a video on this. When I was diagnosed with stress induced IBS I had to start prioritising my gut health. I started taking a multistrain probiotic everyday and it helped gratefully. It was about 22 billion cfu's. There were foods that I had become intolerant to and had to cut out completely. I avoid fodmap foods as much as possible. I can safely say I'm a lot happier than I used to be. And I'm not experiencing a lot of stomach pain like I once did. I still get the occasional bloating and upset stomach but way less than before.
did ur sleeping became normal after fixing ur gut?
I'm in the midst of this, I've been suffering for years. I've done everything but I think the stress is the major problem. I trying not to lose hope atm. So it's good to see your improving 😊
Interesting info! Back in late November, I made the connection between what I was eating and the effects on my mental health. I’d been really suffering with lots of anxiety and had seen a few doctors (pcp, cardiologist, neurologist, obgyn, etc) and not one mentioned my diet, however ALL suggested anti-depressants.. But one night after a particularly high carb dinner, the anxiety skyrocketed & prompted me to google, “can food cause anxiety?” I was blown away by what I found after digging through the internet: that high glycemic foods can cause an insulin rush that can cause feelings of anxiety! The next morning, I researched low glycemic index foods, went to the store, bought them all and the positive results were literally instantly noticeable. Once I started eating LG foods my anxiety decreased about 80% right away! And some added bonuses that followed: my near constant heartburn and nighttime GERD disappeared, (allowing me to sleep lying down again!) AND I’ve lost 18 pounds. But more than anything, the most important part of discovering the link of food to my mental health has been the ability to regain a more calm and less stressful existence. I wish more people (like you are doing) talked about the relationship, because while medications can of course help many people, there is sometimes a LOT you can do to help yourself without meds. I still have that nagging 15%-20% anxiety that lurks nearby, but I can deep breath it away for the most part now. It’s easy to stay away from sugar and highly refined carbs when you know the consequences if you don’t.
Thanks for the information 👍🏼
so true, great post
Thank you for sharing this! I’ve been planning on changing my diet and will definitely look into low glycemic foods!
@@KindnessInChaos I’m glad to offer any help I can. It’s been over a year since I cut out sugar and highly refined carbs, and my anxiety is still very much reduced. And I’ve now lost over 50 pounds. I eat fresh veg and fruits and even make a couple of delish breads from almond flour (great recipes are out there). I eat a lot of nuts, cheese, beans and other low glycemic foods. I had all my labs done recently and everything looks great. It really hasn’t been difficult (for me). I wish you all the luck if you try this way of eating.
i’ve had anxiety, depression and gut problems all my life, only now at 21 i’m seeing the connection and starting to be mindful about food
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE THESE PROBLEMS AT ALL AT YOUR AGE. STOP EATING CRAP FAST FOOD AND ROADSIDE TACOS MADE BY UNHYGIENIC MEXICANS AND EAT ONLY MOM'S HOME COOKED FOOD. DO A H PYLORI STOOL ANTIGEN TEST.
I'm 43
Exactly bro
I’m 61!
Same at 21 that breaking
I did an elimination diet to heal my leaky gut and my mood and anxiety improved within a couple of weeks.
I'm trying this, too.
Already lost 10 lbs in about 2 weeks. Hoping my mood will improve as I heal, but my gut is definitely happier. 😊
What did you eliminate?
What do you mean by elimination
What did you eliminate
I am on week 2 of elimination- check out FODMAP diet
i don’t know if you’re gonna see this but i just wanna say thanks because you’ve helped me a lot about my mental health, good habits, etc
There are many foods in the Mediterranean diet that I can't eat. My entire brain changed when I did Keto. I never treated it like a diet. I've been doing keto for 4 years. And it changed my life. Lost 45 lbs, I haven't had major depression in 4 years! I can handle anxiety better. I have a lot more mental clarity. I feel more motivated.
Could you do a video on PMS? Especially how to deal with anxiety triggered by hormones! Thanks Emma! 😊
Read Lara Briden’s Period repair manual! Or if you are closer to 40, you can read that and also hormone repair manual. Amazing books to help you understand your cycle much better!
yes please! so many of our emotions are tied to physiological triggers that need to be better understood.
I've been working with this "30 plant foods" number and including some fermented foods each day. When I sustain this I feel really good. Whenever I feel like carbs will mend everything I remind myself "food can help me feel better, but not in the way I think" and try to stay on track. I write a list on my white board to help me track my "at least 30 plants" each week.
TBH the effect is marvellous and I think it's two things, one is better gut health and overall nutrition, the other is something you mention in another video, I'm working with something in my "locus of control" to feel better, it helps me let go of the bits I can't control and manage stress. Thanks Emma.
I thought it was 30 plant food a day. If I remember the video I watched correctly. But it is no as daunting as it first seems. This includes very small amounts of food. So adding a handful of mixed seeds to breakfast counts as 5 or 6. Add mixed herbs to your lunch and that 5 more. Add mixed berries to dessert and that's 5 more.
1. Prebiotics
2. Probiotics
3. Decrease inflammation (Mediterranean diet & decrease sugar, processed foods, and saturated fats)
4. Decrease stress
4 & 1/5. Fecal transplants
ty!
Thank you ,shes annoying.

Just here to say thank you for all of the work and research you do for us. ❤
Your channel has really helped me improve my mental health the past few years & I’m really grateful for you. I hope you hear that enough. ☺️
Would happy to see some more gut issues related videos

Thanks so much Emma! I suspect that a heavy dose of antibiotics I was given as a child (to treat limes disease) may have been the catalyst for digestive issues, mental health issues, and eating disorders that I’m still struggling with now. I find that life improves a lot if I exercise and get enough sleep (but sometimes it’s hard to do this regularly). It also is better if I eat small meals with plenty of time in between to digest, don’t get too starving, and if I don’t eat when I’m already feeling very stressed. Certain foods also seem to help: fresh ginger, yogurt, spices, soaked chia seeds, sweet potatoes, and tofu. I also stumbled on a probiotic that seemed to make a big difference (garden of Eden’s Dr formulated shelf stable for women). The only problem is that it’s quite expensive, so if I run out I often can’t replace it for long stretches. It’s amazing how much the state of my digestion does affect my state of mind and determine whether or not I can cope (or even be nice).
Thank you so much for this video. It would be great if you could talk more about the connection between the brain and chronic inflammation.
Very good video!
In my college days between school and family stress I was so sick and couldn’t keep any food in me. I’d eat and be sick for next couple of hours. I saw a gastroenterologist who prescribed me antidepressants and I thought that was CRAZY (Looking back, I know where she was going with that because I was in denial of my anxiety and depression)!!! My body didn’t react well to the medicine, so I stopped them. Finished school and disowned the family causing the drama in my life and haven’t had issues since. The brain and stomach are really connected!!!!
I’ve been fascinated with this topic for several years and especially with the possibility of using FMT to help people with depression. I’m so happy this area of research is growing and I hope we’ll finally find out which bacteria/fungi are responsible for such issues and which could be helpful. I believe this knowledge is crucial in choosing the right donor to make sure the patient doesn’t receive some bacteria that would in turn cause some other health issues.
Really informative, and I’m going to try some of these things. I already take a probiotic tablet twice a day, and eat yogurt, which has helped my IBS. On a side note, I’m a retired nurse, and the hospital I worked for used fecal transplants for patients with intractable Clostridium Difficile infections due to either prolonged or multiple antibiotic treatment that killed off all their good gut bacteria. It didn’t work for everyone, but most saw enough of an improvement that their symptoms were managed enough until their own gut bacteria levels returned. Most people cringe at the thought, but those who accepted the treatment were desperate to try anything to relieve the misery.
I used to be a nurse too! While we hadn't done fecal transplants at the facility I worked with, the immunology docs talked about it.
I did start asking for probiotics for my patients on antibiotics and asked they be spaced apart.
Knowing what I now know, I'd hope for more individualized probiotics for patients...such as those with histamine intolerance to get the low histamine strains, as to not bombard their system. Many of those type patients have their immune system, inflammatory mediators (and more) so out of whack, that they are very sensitive.
I wish we could eradicate C diff, it's so terrible.
Another important aspect, I really tapped into, after quitting nursing (due to my youngest child born 3 months premature 😯) was when he had health issues and my anxiety was through the roof.
Learning ways to calm our nervous systems, emotionally regulate, has been key in overall health. His bowels have greatly improved with emotional regulation skills, we even do a nightly sleep meditation. So, so important.
I wish you wellness, peace and health 💛💫
Explains a lot when you ignore your 'gut feeling' which i did when I met my now ex-husband. Just recently I went for a job interview and I knew it wasn't for me and spent a lot of time worrying about what happened if I was offered this job, though when it came to the day I found out, I was turned down I felt relief. My employment provider has asked me when job searching what elements of the gut triggers my gut.
Since Christmas time I felt a big dip in my mood due to eating too many sugary foods plus alcohol ... Now I'm getting back to better foods I'm feeling the brain fog lift
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Thanks for the video Dr. Emma!
I wanted to mention that for people with Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). Probiotics and prebiotics aren't necessarily a good idea.
This condition is relatively unknown but it's pretty common and you should try to get a diagnosis for it if you suspect you have it.
Do you quickly bloat after every meal?
Do you have problems with weight gain/loss that can't be easily explained?
Do you get gut cramps?
Do you have frequent diarrhea/constipation?
Do you suffer from brain fog and anxiety?
Then it's likely you have SIBO and you need to treat it before following Dr. Emma's advice or you'll risk making it worse.
I had sibo and had to take Rifaximin for a month to kill the bacteria. SIBO is the worst. I put on 15kilos and still trying to lose it.
@@rach4990 I believe I have SIBO and I've been on Rifaximin in 3 courses, and I think it's coming back again. But each course has only been 2 weeks.
Thank you so much for taking your time to share your experiences with us. The other day I had to speak in front of people and I got an anxiety attack beforehand. I search for a video and one of yours came up, it help me go through the fear and do the speech.
I have a genetic degenerative neurological disease with multiple comorbidities, but getting my diet in order has helped so much.
I adhere to the Mediterranean diet, excluding foods I have sensitivities and allergies to (wheat, sugar, simple carbs, tomatoes, garlic, onions).
Whenever I do eat something with sugar or wheat, my entire body pays the price.
Food is medicine!
You are a blessing.
I’ve been studying this info for many years now. And have tried many of the things you talked about, even a fecal transplant. This is all really good information. I would also add that in order for the gut to truly heal and stay healed it’s important to first detox from heavy metals and make sure you don’t have any retro viruses going on.
And I think therapy is huge here, so that old trauma and dysfunctional thought patterns are addressed so we don't repeat family of origin issues.
Thanks. How do you detox from heavy metals / make sure about viruses?
Man....understanding how bubble guts or queasy stomach can be related to stress is so helpful. I have been receiving your emails for a long time now, and really ap[preciate the way you present information. I especially learned a lot about how people can be triggered by sounds/noises. -Elana
Thanks!
Interesting that 'emerging evidence' also indicates significant improvements in bipolar disorder, depression & anxiety for people on a ketogenic diet. It's important to look carefully at the research (including the microbiome work) as 'minor correlations' are being oversold as causative.
I realize that I'm 38 years old, but I always find poop discussions funny. Maybe my inner child lol. I have ptsd and panic disorder as well as mixed ibs. I find with the mental health issues its difficult to eat healthy. I have little energy to prepare food and generally go for whats easy. I do notice that I pay for it in the end. I notice I feel better ibs wise and mentally, but its hard to overcome the lack of energy and anxiety sometimes to eat the right things. I have recently lost 35 lbs though and am trying my hardest to try to make better choices even if its picking the healthier option one meal at a time and try not to beat myself up if I slip up. Your videos have been very helpful to me since I discovered your channel back in June after I'd gotten covid. It definitely messed with my appetite for a lot of months and well as sending my anxiety off the charts. So thank you for putting yourself out there to help others who are struggling but are also still trying!
I've just started studying vet med and we were learning all about digestion and gut health last module, it's fascinating how much it relates to human mental health too
I started drinking kombucha first thing in the morning and it boosted my metabolism which is pretty sluggish. Thank you for this video.
Got panic attack during cycling event last Oct, last year. (At that time it's felt like heart attack?, no joke..). Sometime panic attack come as it like to be anywhere, Body trembling or vibrating your body. This channel video motivate me and may benefits others. Thank you
What are the symptoms you remember from panic attacks please? I have PTSD
I’ve been screaming this for over two years and take herbs to specifically help these areas and my health improved greatly!
I’ve been taking a high quality probiotic supplement for several years and I definitely notice the mood improvement- I’d credit it with helping me be 15% less irritable, more resilient, easier going. That paired with a clean, healthy, low carb/low sugar and 30-45 outdoor exercise is as effective for me as a prescription low dose anti depressant.
What is the high quality probiotic?
@@daniellopez46 Renew Life brand (purchased at Whole Foods). At first, I used the 50 billion formula but I do notice even more a difference with the (more expensive) 90 billion.
@@daniellopez46 Renew Life brand, I buy it at Whole Foods. Not inexpensive ($35-50 for 2 months worth) but I've really noticed an improvement in mood- I'd say 10-15%, paired with outdoor exercise and sunshine it really aids my mental resilience.
I know I messed up with my micro biome last year. Started getting abdominal pain here and there doing a very stressful time in my life. I received therapy, exercise and eating healthy and I was back on the right path. In 2023 again I was extremely stressed lost my assistant at work, my grandfather had to have open heart surgery, I had to break a lease early with my landlord bc he was a fraud, and I had to take care of my grandfather for 2 weeks while on leave pay. I couldn’t eat for days bc of the extreme pain. Finally my gastro diagnosed me with stress induced gastritis. Keep in mind I was eating out a lot, stressed, anxiety was bad and no exercising ! I went on an all liquid diet with vitamins, prebiotic and probiotics with omegas and electrolytes and my pain slowly went from chronic to acute pain. I’ve been on a Mediterranean diet for 1 month while on a short term PPI and I know when I ease off the pills I will be staying on my diet and exercising. Your body is signaling something is wrong when you’re overly stressed out and can’t eat.
I have been dealing with some financial/family and self esteem issues for quite a while now. Every time I had a negative thought/emotion, I could totally feel it in my gut as well, it was like a gut illness waiting to happen but I didn't think too much of it back then. Sure enough, since August last year, all these stressors manifested as GERD/gut inflammation (I knew it had to be stress because I'm not that old, keep active and eat decently well) and I had to be put on H2 blockers as well as being told to "reduce stress" and a whole bunch of other things. I now also start to do some meditation and deep breathing to calm myself whenever I feel ANY kind of negativity (which is the big culprit of reflux) coming up.
I knew about the gut-brain connection before, but now I get to feel and experience just how important it really is.
Yes I second hormone/ menstrual cycle related video! PMS, PMDD, even gut related issues that only show up during that time of the month
❤ I was having some weird headaches that went down the side of my face, eye n neck. I did a cleanse with turpentine n released a little demon n other guck n yeast....the headache is now gone. I'm so amazed. Gotta keep the colon clear.
Thank you so much for this video. Nutrition is so important because thinking can actually make anxiety worse. We need to start exercising and eating right so that the cyclical thoughts disappear.
Thank you for sharing💚🤗 I will start to include 30 different fibers per week. Eating food containing lactobacillus (Sourdough bread, fermented food) and cholin (eggs, beans, carrots) helped me enormousily to improve my mental health.
Thank you so much for your kind and wonderful advice and information 😊
I don't know if this will help anyone. Often when I'm super anxious, I make up an electrolyte drink and I immediately feel better. It's a mixture I put together of 3 parts sugar, 2 parts salt, and 1/2 part Morton's lite salt. I start with 3/4teaspoonsn in a glass of water. I'm trying the suggestions here. Thank you so much! I truly needed this video.
Thank you very much for the video and your channel overall. I just wanted to add that fecal transplants can be very invasive and has to be done repeatedly over the time in order to see the benefits. I was going down that way but have been blessed to meet a great nutritionists who treated me with antibiotics (I had the Sibo) and a fodmap diet resolving my 10 year lasting problem within 1/2 months 🤗
Thank you for your informative videos. One thing to note is that people with histamine intolerance and mast cell activation disorders need to be careful with fermented food and certain strains of probiotics. I can only take acidophilus, for instance, as I react to multi-strains and to very high count. As for prebiotics, I'm sure when and how they are taken makes a difference, just like with probiotics (empty stomach etc).
I agree. When I started taking my prebiotic 1st thing in the morning with an 8 ounce glass of water on an empty stomach, I saw & felt a big, wonderful positive difference for me! An hour later is when I will eat breakfast.
Omg this video is literally meant to be right now. I struggle with autoimmune issues and my gut is very important! With the holidays and a young baby I’ve been cheating on my diet and I’m super feeling it and pretty depressed :(
P.s. thank you so much for your content over the years. I always feel more calm and hopeful when I watch your videos
Hey, I was diagnosed with IBD recently and am trying to learn more about it as I also had major depression on past. In my case, I am convinced the desease is somehow connected to my emotions/brain. As she mentions on this video gut inflammation may cause brain inflammation... so maybe therapy, having a hobby, sports, and not only diet may help the gut. I am still figuring out what works for me and hope to find my way over time. I hope you get well too :)
@@jessicaferreira324 here's what I wish I'd known 14 years ago when I started with severe IBD - food matters! I was told by docs that it was nothing to do with food...but in the last 4 years I've cut out sugar, sweetners, all processed food,alcohol, meat, fish & most dairy (still eat a little cheese). It's not easy but defo worth it - everything I eat is fresh & home made.. even bread. I eat loads of wholegrain pasta, rice, veg,fruit, eggs, nuts etc. Batch cooking & freezing is key. Research food for good gut microbiome & anti inflammatory diet.
For the first 10 years (before I changed my diet) I had to take really high doses of steroids & immuno suppressants & now I don't take any.
I've tried loads of different health supplements..the only one that helps me is "L Glutamine" which helps to repair the gut lining.
There's also a free app which I discovered recently called Yuka - it scans barcodes & tells you what additives are in food.
If you decide to change your diet I'd suggest gradual change to allow your body/gut to adjust.
Good luck with your journey, I hope this information is useful x
@@user-xf1rx8um5p that’s hilarious that they said that to you. I wish I knew 10 years ago as well to reduce my stress and eat well and avoid toxins! Oh well 🤷🏻♀️ gotta deal with the cards I’m dealt. I just wish modern medicine would catch up with the reality of autoimmune/nutrition/holistic health etc
@@user-xf1rx8um5p thank you so much for the presious advices! I am still surprised that my doctor says that I can eat "all I want", I don't think this is right for intestines that have chronic inflamation. I reduced industrialized food, but not 100% yet. I am taking collagen peptides and magnesium; it feels a little better but I don't know yet if it is a placebo effect. I also noticed that cinnamon powder on warm drinks makes me feel better. I have read about Glutamine and was wondering about it, I will give it a try. Again, thanks for sharing your experience!
I had a regular day yesterday and I ate burger king. I felt weird, nauseous, fearful and anxious. I thought I was having a heart attack so I called 911. My blood sugar level was at a 65, on the lower end, but everything else checked out fine. They said I might’ve had a panic attack or anxiety influenced it. But then I proceeded to throw up 10+ times throughout the entire day yesterday, my stool has been coming out different, and I have been feeling anxious, dread and depression since yesterday. I don’t understand why my mood and mental health has deteriorated so quickly and how my stomach isn’t feeling well.
How are you now ?
Thanks a lot for such a great informative video with such simple way.
Very clearly and succinctly explained as always!!! Genius. Thank you so for being such a fabulous influencer, great asset to the world, a brilliant light...
This is exactly the video I needed to see. Thank you so much!
I appreciate this view of the brain-gut connection. Thank you . 🙂
As a health coach, I thank you for addressing this important topic. I do, however, disagree with you on the saturated fats, which are actually quite healthy for you. What you really need to avoid are polyunsaturated fatty acids, otherwise known as seed oils. They are highly processed and extremely inflammatory. Love all your videos!
Thanks for the clarification!
Yikes, I haven't had fresh fruits and veggies in years other than lemon juice a few times. I just don't like them, but I want to try. I know my gut is all messed up. This video is so appreciated. Thank you!
Same..
just got an IBS diagnosis and after 2 weeks of FODMAP elimination diet I'm feeling soooo much better. I've suffered from mental health issues (anxiety, BPD, depression, complex trauma) for 20 years and intense digestive issues for 12. I've always had a very healthy diet but all of this has made my anxiety unmanageable. until I saw a specialist and got a colonoscopy did not really understand how to heal !!!!!!
Emma, you are so quite amazing! Thank you-:)

I had severe depression but I found out it was caused by five foods I was eating. I was cured with antibiotics meant for a sinus infection. Now I can eat whenever I want. Out of 1 to 10, my depression was a 100. It was just pure torture.
Can you share the names of these 5 foods and antibiotics?
I follow the FODMAP Diet and take a powder first thing in the morning called gut repair by brain co. here in Australia. seems to be working the last few months. All of last year I was suffering anxiety and depression really bad. I stopped eating, lost weight had diarrhea, couldn't sleep. I even had a cyst on one of my ovaries that was causing problems and when it burst, It hurt sooo bad. Even caused bladder issues. But still to this day I'm still Stressed from family matters.
Thank you, this video came at just the right time! ❤
ThaenaBiotic post-biotic is on the cutting edge of gut microbiome healing. It’s prescription only but it’s been working for me in many ways since the gut’s influence in overall health is higher than we know.
Hi. Rx for what specifically?
Why does it say there are a lot more comments but I only see mine?
And would like to know more about this btw please
I really love a Mediterranean diet, I think I will try to incorporate more of those foods in my menu. Thank you for these videos. I’ve committed to watching one every day when I make breakfast.
Thank you for these wonderful free videos. Much appreciated from Florida!
Lovely how this lays out a holistic approach! Thank you :)
The Ketogenic diet (clean version with lots of healthy veggies) with exercise has helped me enormously. Not quite out of the woods yet but I’m 90% of the way there.
“There you have it. Four and a half ways to…”. That gave me a good chuckle. 😄
This is so helpful! my appetite is so low from stress that I have to force myself to eat and keeping a healthy bmi is a real struggle!
yep I was there for 4 years. used cannabis to help me eat because I could properly digest food during the most stressful years of my life and finally got my BMI up to healthy this last year !
How are you guys doing now?
Yep, I've tried taking probiotics drinks before meal during my early period of panic disorder and still does at least once a week. I've also tried kimchi, but it didn't work for me. Probiotic drinks is one of the thing that help to calm down my upset gut-brain condition. At my early stage of my disorder, i'll easily start to feel the panic attack whenever i feel hungry & don't eat on time. Now, i dont have that much problem anymore & can have meals a little bit later.
Which drinks do you take?
@@Tiffr_ Hi Tiffany. I drink Yakult. I'm not sure if its available in your country. You can try Google it.😊
'Liked', 'favorited', and 'Subscribed'! Glad I found this channel!
Interesting information. Unfortunately, as someone with a history of SIBO, I have been told to avoid probiotics by my GI as it feeds the good and bad bacteria. How do we prioritize feeding the good bacteria without feeding the bad bacteria?
I gotta say, Brilliant name for a channel focused on 'Thinking issues'.
Ur the most incredible person
Excellent! Very interesting! Thank you so much!
Wonderful tips! I'm looking forward to trying them! I'm so glad you didn't say take an anti-inflammatory pill because those hurt more than they help...including damaging kidneys, heart, and gut. Cheers!
What about healthy green shakes for source of 30 different fruits and vegetables? The one I drink is well sourced with 7 grams of fiber. 500mg of 17 organic veggies, 6.1 gram of 9 super fruit/antioxidants, 1020mg of 6 adaptogens, and 27.75 gram of 6 sources of plant protein. It also has probiotic/prebiotic blend of 50mg of inulin, l rhamnosus, l acidophilus. And 50mg of a digestive enzyme blend.
I consume this for lunch everyday along with oatmeal and fruit for breakfast and a well portioned prganic protein/veggie/grain dinner. I'm definitely not getting 30 different fruits/veggies in my breakfast and dinner so is a shake source a dependable way to increase exposure to more fruits and veggies?
Just eat healthy and be discipline with it train hard and meditate set goals and be around like minded people whi has good auras
Thank you so much for this video ... very valuable lessons.... 🙏
Cutting out processed food is most important. But some have reversed their mental health issues by eliminating all plant foods. They can be be gut irritants.
Im extremely grateful for this channel thank you so much for your content 💖
Good and well researched information, thank you for making these videos and telling the story with the necessary nuances.
just listening to you makes my anxiety to alleviate, thank you!🙏
Thank you for this interesting ❤
Since I have consciously started to eat a cup of Greek yogurt and glass of kefir a day I have felt much better mentally and physically.
thank you
Unfortunately I have 2 chronic pain conditions that react to various different foods (ibs-c and interstitial cystitis) and really limits the fruits and veggies I can eat. So fiber comes mostly from grains and things like metimucil. I’ve seen a nutritionist and she can only do so much. I also have ptsd so I am pretty anxious all the time. Hopefully I can find a good balance
Thank you!
I was about to watch a girls next door episode and thought no, I’m gonna watch something that can help me grow❤
I"ve just started researching the gut brain axis connection and have learned over the years (21 years with major depression) - the inflammation, too much cortisol = fat weight gain. Only after going on an Anti-fungal diet and taking a compound blend of natural antifungals for 1 month did I loose 32 lbs and felt better. Unfortunately, I ended up becoming homeless and severely depressed again.
Could you please share your anti fungal programme? I hope you are in a better place now
Low-FODMAP is diet that also is anti-fungal.
Great information!
Menopause really messed up my brain and gut health.
Fermented foods and prebiotic foods work best and efficiently. Probiotics in capsules can open up in the wrong places and make more problems.
Thanks for this video. Helpful info. ❤
I completely quit my benzodiazepine by cutting sugar and carbs. Anxiety went from a 9 to a 2 or 3
I’ve been using Amare products for gut brain balance for almost 3 years…it’s been very helpful for me …
This is awesome love this channel ❤
Thank you very much for profit info
Therapeutic session with psilocybin mushrooms helped curr my IBS. The repressed painful emotions came up
