The Best Food for Mood and Gut Health

What we eat impacts our mood. We make 90% of our serotonin in our gut and the vagus nerve is the modulator of the gut-brain axis (see my Instagram reel from last week on this). I love running group hormone programs and in this course we always address the gut. We must take care of our gut for our mood and our hormonal health.

Well, today I thought I’d share the best foods for our neurotransmitters that impact our mood - think anxiety and depression. Don’t forget everything that’s good for our gut is also good for our hormonal health 🥦🥕🍫

FERMENTED FOODS

Tip: variety is key!
