7 Signs Your Gut Is Affecting Your Mental Health

Our gut plays a central role in our health.

Both physical and mental.

Here are 7 signs that may indicate your gut health may not necessarily be up to par and requires optimizing.

Fatigue

One type of natural bacterium in our body is Candida albicans.

When it becomes overpopulated in our gut, the bacterium causes severe fatigue symptoms.

Candida lives off of sugar and causes extreme cravings.

Causing a perfect storm for your body to spike in insulin and glucose.

Followed by a crash and another need for more sugar as a “quick fix” for more energy.

The solution?

Go on a 30-day Candida diet by ridding your body of simple sugars.

Helping your gut heal and repopulate your good bacteria.

Irritable Bowels

Over 45 million people suffer from some degree of irritable bowels.

Exacerbated by the stress it causes in their daily lives.

In fact, one-third of patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome had considered suicide as a result of their symptoms, one study found.

Once again, the solution lies in optimizing gut health. Which in turn, also aids in improving mental state.

The keys to replenishing the gut with good bacteria and restoring a healthy balance to the microbiota, lie with two primary strains of species known as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus.

Bloating

When gut microbiota are overwhelmed by poor diet, stress, antibiotics and medicines. 

The first indication that your bacteria is out of balance is gas and bloating.

By incorporating whole plant food, you can help re-feed and strengthen your gut with good bacteria.

Food Intolerances

Getting a food allergy or intolerance test is a great way to determine if something is affecting your gut.

Helping your gut heal by eliminating the culprit.

Ultimately, enhancing your mental state by eliminating brain fog, discomfort and fatigue.

Skin Irritations

Inflammation in our gut causes a rise in our permeable intestinal wall.

This can leak proteins that affect our skin, causing irritations such as acne, eczema or rosacea.

Overall gut health disturbances reveal themselves in the quality of our skin as well.

Sleep Disturbances

There is ample evidence which reveals that the gut microbiome also regulates sleep and mental states.

Inflammation, emotion and physiological stress affects the composition of the gut microorganisms.

Causing a vast range of mental disorders to take place.

Ensuring your diet has healthy fiber, diverse, plant-based foods together with probiotics aids in strengthening your microbiota.

Autoimmune Conditions

Studies are starting to reveal the relationship between intestinal autoimmune diseases and microbiota imbalance.

Suffering from any autoimmune condition and having mental health issues?

Healing your gut is critical.
