In this episode of The Beyond Bloated Podcast, we dive into the fascinating connection between your gut health and mental well-being. If you've been struggling with bloating, brain fog, anxiety, or mood swings, this episode is for you!

Did you know that your gut plays a huge role in how you feel mentally? Over 90% of your serotonin (the "feel-good" chemical) is produced in your gut, and an imbalanced gut can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and even depression.

I’ll break down the science behind the gut-brain axis and explain how issues like bloating and poor digestion can impact your mental health. Plus, I’ll share real-life stories from my own life and my clients—including how my boyfriend went from being on depression medication to being completely med-free by improving his gut health, and how one of my clients reduced her antidepressant dose by half after just 4 months of working together.

You’ll also walk away with actionable tips to start supporting your gut and mental health today. From food to lifestyle changes, small steps can make a big impact on how you feel—physically and mentally.

Tune in to learn how to improve your mood, reduce anxiety, and start feeling your best from the inside out!
