What is the gut-brain axis
and how do I fix it?
New research shows that the gut is responsible for many of the things we attribute to our brain.
Information is transmitted between the two along a communication channel called the gut-brain axis.
This channel is strengthened or weakened over time, depending on our diet and lifestyle.
And at any age, it can be healed by adopting better habits.
Our brain and gut are connected by an extensive network of neurons and a highway of chemical messengers and hormones that constantly provide feedback about how hungry we are, whether we’re experiencing stress, or how we’re feeling emotionally.
This information superhighway is called the “gut-brain axis” and it provides a communication link between our two brains.
"70% of your serotonin is made in your gut. What's going on in your gut it going to affect your mood -- anxiety, depression, and focus."
-Dr. Frank Lipman
When something frightening happens - physically or emotionally - it triggers a response known as fight or flight.
When this response kicks in, hormones are released to give you the extra rush of energy needed to literally fend off an attacker or run for your life.
This kind of response was crucial for the safety of early humans, who needed to literally fight or flee to stay alive. But this response continues to happen every time we stress out at work, have a fight with our spouse, or get cut off in traffic.
The last thing you need in those situations is a rush of energy! Having an influx of hormones and physical energy when you’re stuck in your office chair or driver’s seat leads to agitation, irritability, anger, frustration, and more stress.
Another part of this response slows down - or even stops - digestive processes. After all, they aren’t needed during that lifesaving burst of energy, and this allows more energy to go to parts of the body that would be needed to defend against dangers.
It also reroutes all problem solving to the logical part of the brain which cycles through all previous experiences for an answer to the issue at hand.
But today’s problems require creative solutions and full access to both sides of our brain.
Past experiences and logical thinking aren’t enough to get ahead at work, communicate better with loved ones, and find joy in rush hour traffic.
Today’s environment needs a better response.
A response that doesn't block the gut and flood you with agitated energy.
You need a clear cognitive response that doesn’t overwhelm the body when it’s time to learn a new tax form, overcome stage fright, or realizing you’re short on money for this month’s mortgage payment.
And yet, your body sees these things as threats and responds with the same fight or flight reaction it has for millennia.
Which means, your digestive system also responds—and the result can be diarrhea, a churning gut, pain in your abdomen and more.
Problems in the gastrointestinal tract have also been found to create anxiety, making these scenarios a double whammy.
The gut is also your source of melatonin (which affects sleep), serotonin, endorphins, and other chemicals necessary for a happy, healthy life!
So what we have here is a hub of information that not only produces our “happy chemicals” but also slows down any time we experience stress or fear.
Healing your gut improves your mental performance, sleep quality, stress response, and more.
Healing your gut-brain axis results in less digestive problems, more all-day energy, and more capacity for joy.
The most direct (and easiest) way to improve your health for less stress, less digestive problems, and better sleep, mental clarity, and more joy is the right supplementation.
You could spend hours of every week planning meals, shopping for the right food combinations, and trying to convince your family to eat it, and still not get the right balance of ingredients to heal your gut, brain, and axis.
