Scientists transplanted depression into mice through the intestines. And it worked. There are 2 kg of creatures living in your stomach that decide whether you'll be happy today or not.
Do you think depression is in your head?
No.
90% of serotonin isn't produced by your brain. It's produced by bacteria in your stomach. And if they're in a mess there, your head is in a mess too. How do you regain control? Your microbiome restoration plan:
1. Prebiotics: fiber (vegetables, legumes) — food for good bacteria
2. Probiotics: fermented foods (kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut)
3. Polyphenols: berries, green tea, dark chocolate — microbiome protection
4. Cut out sugar and ultra-processed foods — stop feeding the enemies
You'll notice changes in 2-4 weeks.
First, energy. Then, mood.
