Your Microbiome and Your Brain

I know it's anecdotal, but after a long antibiotic course, I was severely depressed, and in the last day I couldn't take it, I threw them in the bin because it was causing me immense stress

Gut instinct/gut feeling really do have a basis in reality after all.VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO.

What if this is actually just the microbes 🦠 world and everything we do is them pulling the levers

Given that everyone in my family from my Dad on down- I don't know about his siblings or parents except that his mother had many of the same health issues I do- has IBS/food sensitivities/fodmap issues, this is a VERY important topic to me. If there's a way to tweak our systems so we react less to foods that would help all of us. Especially me, since I have the worst of it- the inflammation and blood sugar issues from our normal diets contributes to pretty much every health problem I have aside from the inability to sweat normally that my sister and I were born with. Anything that would let me lose weight, somehow fix the hypothyroidism, help me to get my blood sugar under control, make my mental illnesses less serious, and cause my stupid asthma to tone it down to what it was when I was a kid and I could still go hiking and ride my bike as far as I wanted to would be an absolute Godsend.

is this the girl from the big bang theory?

10 years of anxiety cured by one 50 billion cfu tablet now i take probiotics on a daily basis. its better than any prescription drug i've tried and it gave me my life back.

Isn't this the girl from Big Bang theory that banged Sheldon?

no info on biome in brain. maybe that is new er data?

She tells us that gut bacteria produce the majority of serotonin (5-tryptamine) and that this can affect are mood. How is this so as serotonin is a highly polar molecule? How would it get across the highly non-polar blood brain barrier? Are there active transport proteins in the barrier to conduct this peripherally serviced serotonin into the CNS? If so, then how is it delivered into the appropriate neurons? Could some psychiatric conditions arise from abnormal transport mechanisms?

I have been logging my symptoms with the King's College, London, Zoe app which are front runners in researching the gut microbiome. It's fascinating! I have been logging since it started at the beginning of the pandemic and recently its branched out to other areas of health as it has the largest group of test subjects ever, logging whatever they need. It's a new and amazing way of testing things and of keeping tabs on whatever symptoms each survey needs. It's truly ground breaking and if you can join in the US it's a great way to help scientists and you feel like you've actually contributed.

My new pronounce is multitudes. 😂🤣
