Stress Management and The Gut-Brain Connection

Posted by Nurse Mary on 28th Jun 2024

The gut microbiome, often referred to as our “second brain,” plays a pivotal role in mental and physical well-being, as imbalance can impair gut barrier function, mood, and focus. Regular use of targeted probiotics supports the gut-brain axis, improves stress response, and strengthens gut barrier function.

“This is one of those times where there is a product that has really broad ranging biohacking benefits. The fact that we are seeing these 50% or 70% improvement in things that are considered disease states, they’re also things that weaken you, things that lower your performance. So, whenever I see a new technology like [Omni-Biotic] that allows you to shift things in a major way, I think it’s worth your time to know about it.”  - Dave Asprey
Healthy gut microbiome is foundational for health and longevity. Our good gut bacteria influence many critical functions in the body, including digestion, the immune system, detoxification, and brain function.

THE GUT-BRAIN AXIS

The gut is often called the “second brain.” The gut and the brain stand in constant communication with one another. Our good gut bacteria play an active role in this communication. For example, our good gut bacteria help produce 95% of our happiness hormone serotonin, as well as short-chain fatty acids like butyrate which are essential for brain function.

THE GUT AS A MAIN DETOXER

Also, the gut and liver are directly connected. When the gut is damaged, toxins seep through to the liver, and disrupt the function of this important detoxification organ. The immune system responds to this influx of toxins, which triggers more inflammation in the body. This imbalance in the gut microbiome can manifest as digestive issues, fatigue, a weaker immune system, and other acute and chronic diseases.

TARGETED PROBIOTIC SOLUTIONS

Everyday factors, including stress, processed foods, and certain medications, diminish our good gut bacteria, making room for pathogens to thrive and inflammation to develop. Taking a high-quality probiotic supplement will restore and maintain a healthy gut microbiome, and help you feel and perform your best. Omni-Biotic offers targeted probiotics that address specific health needs.
