Are you feeling nervous, uneasy, restless or anxious?? Your gut might be playing a role - let's decode the connection and find out why!


Hey


You may have heard of leaky gut, but did you know there’s something called leaky brain too? 


Your gut lining could be the reason behind your brain fog, anxiety or even depression?


When your gut barrier is compromised, toxins, undigested food and inflammation leak into your bloodstream, triggering an immune response that can also affect your brain’s protective barrier. 


This leads to - 

❌ More inflammation in the brain

❌ Higher stress levels and anxiety

❌ Brain fog and poor concentration

❌ Increased risk of mood disorders


How do you know if you have a leaky gut and brain?

Frequent bloating, food sensitivities, or indigestion

✔ Unexplained mood swings, brain fog or anxiety

✔ Chronic fatigue or trouble focusing

✔ Skin issues like eczema or psoriasis


What you can do today to start healing:

Cut out inflammatory foods – Reduce sugar, gluten, processed foods and dairy, which weaken the gut lining.

Eat gut-friendly foods – Fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, and kefir support good gut bacteria. Also, eating a variety of fruits and vegetables, adding nuts and seeds in your diet helps reducing inflammation. 

Manage stress effectively – Chronic stress weakens the gut barrier. Try meditation, breathing exercises or simply spending time in nature.

Prioritize sleep – Poor sleep increases gut permeability, making anxiety worse. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep.

But if these symptoms have been lingering for months or years your gut might need a deeper reset.
