In this video, we explore the fascinating connection between our gut microbes and our brain. The gut brain axis is a two-way communication system that allows our gastrointestinal tract and brain to talk to each other. This conversation helps our body maintain physiological balance and affects our moods and emotions. We discuss how certain molecules and hormones, such as serotonin and gaba, are released by our gut microbes and how they interact with our nervous system to influence our mental and emotional states. Additionally, we delve into how the health of our gut bacteria can impact our brain signaling and hormonal responses, leading to anxiety, irritability, and other issues. #GutBrainConnection #GutMicrobes #BrainFunction #MentalHealth #PhysiologicalBalance #Serotonin #Gaba #HormonalResponses #Anxiety #Irritability #GutHealth #Homeostasis #Neurotransmitters #EntericNervousSystem #CentralNervousSystem #HealthAndWellness #ScienceExplained
