Serotonin and our mood...

70% of your serotonin is made in your gut. What’s going on in your gut is going to affect your mood — anxiety, depression, and focus.

— Dr Frank Lipman

Apparently, more operating instructions reach the brain from the gut, than the other way around. The gut contains the vast majority of our body’s serotonin and therefore has an a big impact on our mental wellbeing. According to many sources, taking steps to manage stress, exercise, eat a healthy/plant-filled diet will help us build a healthier, more resilient mind and body. We can also consider a probiotic, to maintain the healthy bacteria in our gut. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
