Dear Patient, Imagine this: you wake up tired, your thoughts feel foggy, your mood is heavy, and you can’t explain why. You think it’s just “stress” or “life.” But what if I told you the real culprit isn’t in your head at all—it’s in your gut? Science now shows that your gut is your body’s hidden control center for mental health. It’s not just digesting food—it’s making the very chemicals that shape how you feel, think, and handle stress. In fact, about 95% of your serotonin—the “feel good” chemical—is made in your gut, not your brain. When your gut is inflamed or out of balance, your brain feels it. Anxiety, depression, irritability, poor focus—these aren’t always just “mental health problems.” They’re gut problems, too. The good news? Healing your gut can transform your mood, energy, and resilience.
