Microblog: Unhappy Gut — Unhappy Brain

📬If social media “ends”, I’ll keep in touch via my newsletter-sharing new blog posts, podcasts and videos. I don’t have plans to join other social media platforms. So make sure to subscribe at https://nutritionwithjudy.com/resources/.

🎙I’ve been doing a podcasting tour for @CarnivoreCure and I’ve been sharing my story and talking a lot about personalized carnivore, mental health and gut health.

🧠Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers in the nervous system and they have a vital role on our mood and behavior. Neurotransmitters are produced in the brain and in the gut (and other places, less so).

💡For example, serotonin in the brain is mostly located in the gut (intestines).

❓What do you think happens when our gut health isn’t properly functioning?

🚨If we have an imbalanced gut and we eat non-nutrient-dense foods, we are in a world of mental-health-hurt. Sure, it may not show up right away but it will.

🚧Neurotransmitters also require nutrients to be created. If you are eating a nutrient-poor diet that is not bioavailable (plant-based foods) and have poor gut health, you will likely feel the adverse mental health effects.

Let’s talk serotonin again.
