It’s not just in your head, your gut could be running the show.
You’re eating clean, doing the mindset work, even prioritizing sleep…
But the anxiety still creeps in.
Your focus disappears halfway through the day.
And some days? You just feel “off” for no clear reason.
What if your gut is behind it all?
Here’s the science:
→ Your gut produces over 80% of your serotonin (the mood-regulating hormone).
→ It’s home to trillions of bacteria that influence how you feel, think, and even sleep.
→ Gut inflammation or poor absorption can lead to brain fog, mood swings, and anxiety, even if your diet looks “healthy” on paper.
What you can do today?
- Limit ultra-processed foods – they contribute to inflammation, which disrupts good gut bacteria.
- Hydrate – aim for a minimum of half your body weight (in pounds) in ounces throughout the day.
- Aim for more fruits, vegetables, legumes, and beans. These contain prebiotic starches which feed good gut bacteria.
The catch?
While there are some similarities, what best supports your gut might be totally different from someone else’s. That’s where DNA comes in.
With the right nutrition strategy, tailored to your body, you can finally support both your gut and your mind.
