If you’re feeling tired, anxious, or bloated, the answer might be your gut. Discover how your microbiome affects your brain and metabolism.

Your gut isn’t just for digestion — it’s an active part of your immune system, hormone production, and even your brain chemistry.

Here’s how it all connects:

Mood: Your gut produces over 90% of your serotonin — the “feel-good” neurotransmitter. When gut health is off, it can affect how you feel emotionally.

Metabolism: Inflammation from poor gut health can slow your metabolic rate and increase fat storage.

Energy & Focus: If you’re not absorbing nutrients well, your cells won’t get what they need to power your body or brain.

Tips for Gut Health:

Eat fermented foods (like kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir)

Avoid excess sugar and processed foods

Include fiber-rich vegetables and prebiotics

Healing your gut is one of the most impactful things you can do for whole-body wellness.
