 The brain-gut axis. Are your instincts leading you toward one or more of these disorders? Anxiety, depression, mood disorders, fatigue? If you answered yes, follow your gut. Your brain-gut axis, that is. The biochemical signaling that takes place between the gastrointestinal tract and the nervous system. Because, as it turns out, your gut has everything to do with the health of your brain, and your brain has everything to do with the health of your gut. So exactly what is the brain-gut axis responsible for inside your body? It controls our entire digestive process, from swallowing to releasing enzymes to controlling blood flow. So what are some of the symptoms that indicate your brain-gut axis is off-balance? Difficulty digesting foods, constipation or irregular bowel movements, increased bloating or gas, distention after meals, intolerance to food types, frequent abdomen discomfort after eating. How do you get your brain and gut back in balance? It's actually very simple. Stop eating processed foods and get yourself on a high-quality probiotic supplement. If you have questions about which probiotics may be right for you, please call or email the professional supplement center.
