The Gut-Mind Connection: Why Isn’t Diet Treated as Mental Health Care?
I was reading recently about how most of our serotonin is actually produced in the gut, not the brain. It got me wondering if our digestive system plays such a huge role in how we feel mentally, why do we still treat diet as mostly a vanity or weight issue? It seems like we’re missing a big opportunity to support mental wellness through what we eat.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Have you noticed changes in your mood or mental clarity when you pay closer attention to your diet? What kind of eating habits have made a difference for you?
