I’m so excited to see more and more studies on the microbiome. Our body contains TRILLIONS of bacteria, outnumbering the number of our own human cells! Is there any question that these bacteria have a huge impact on our health, not only physically, but mentally as well? While we’re just scratching the surface of all this new information, it really speaks to how important our gut and nutrition is.

The neuroactive potential of the human gut microbiota in quality of life and depression Correlation of microbiome features with host quality of life and depression identified specific taxa and microbial pathways in two independent, large population cohorts, identifying links between microbial neuroactive potential and depression.
