Microorganisms in the gut can influence your mood via the ‘Gut-Brain Axis’.
The different types of organisms produce different chemicals – some produce mood-enhancing chemicals like serotonin, whilst others may produce more harmful chemicals, for example, LPS (lipopolysaccharide), which is an inflammatory metabolite, more likely to lead to brain fog and drive inflammatory conditions, which are linked with depression.
Improving the makeup of your gut microbiota will not only reduce gut issues but can also help improve brain function and motivation.
