Studies Link Anxiety and Depression to Gut Bacteria Imbalance

Proven by researchers at UCLA, the correction of healthy bacteria in the gut can optimize neurotransmitter function, leading to improved mental health and may even improve learning and sharpen focus and memory.

Give me those probiotics! Who’s with me? 🙂

Allergies

Researchers in Australia at Murdoch Children’s Research Institute have begun using probiotics to help children overcome fatal peanut allergies. At the end of an 18-month study where 30 children were administered Lactobacillus rhamnosusa bacterial strain used as a probiotic, they found that 80% of the participants were able to tolerate peanuts. Amazing!

Many food allergies may be linked to poor gut health, whereas there is insufficient good bacteria levels present. Heal the gut, heal the body.  

Heavy Metals, Bisphenol A, Pesticides and Cancerous Food Preservatives

It’s one of the unfortunate side effects of advanced civilization: the age of convenience and packaged foods. Even if we are careful, toxins are going to end up in our body one way or another. They are going to seriously hurt some people, while barely being felt by others. What is the difference? A healthy gut. A system full of good bacteria will be able to detoxify these nasty substances and keep them from disrupting your health and wellbeing.

A large portion of negative symptoms in the body are due to toxin overload and a gut that is too weak to get rid of them. Every detox regimen should focus on strengthening the gut first.

Think about this… When your gut is imbalanced, such as with dysbiosis or leaky gut, you literally have holes in your gut lining. Picture it this way:

You have a window screen that is designed to keep bugs out, right? Now imagine holes in your screen. The bugs would be able to fly right in, wouldn’t they? Your gut is the same way. Holes in your “screen,” or lining, allow for “bugs” (toxins, etc.) to seep into your bloodstream and create enormous problems for your overall health, internally and over time; externally as well.

When this happens, your immune system becomes confused and begins attacking itself, thus creating Autoimmunity (literally, the ‘attack of self’). Of course, this doesn’t happen in every case, but in every case of Autoimmunity, it’s well researched that leaky gut is present, often undetected.

Check out this concept more here.

What kinds of symptoms hint to toxin overload?

 

  • Hormone imbalance (especially with bisphenol A, which mimics estrogen in the body and disrupts the endocrine system – home to your thyroid, adrenal glands and hormones)
  • Unexplained nausea
  • Digestive issues
  • Stomach or abdominal pain
  • Nervous system dysfunction
  • Asthma
  • Headaches
  • Foggy thinking
  • Mood disorders
