How Your Gut Bacteria Controls Your Mood
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 май 2024
- Your intestines has about 39 trillion microorganisms in it. And yes I said trillion. We call this collection of organisms the microbiome and it consists of mostly bacteria, but also viruses and fungi. Collectively it weighs about 3 pounds which is about the same weight as your brain.
We feed these organisms and they produce chemicals that we need. They send messages to the brain through the vagus nerve.
Several factors determine whether or not your have good vs. bad bacteria:
Diet
Medications
Age
Sleep
Activity level

I just felt that but for shower
My hair needed to be washed but i felt too depressed to start the whole process (heavy curly haired girls know)
But the little voice in me told me i have to, i did it, and now i really feel like that depression was from all the dirt ON my head and not inside ^^
I've been irritable and moody all my life and suffered from depression and anxiety but did not want to go on meds. During the start of the first lockdown, I upped my cooking skills and gave my diet a makeover. Then, I slowly added exercise. I've never felt better in mind, body, and soul. It really is just small lifestyle choices that build the way toward a happier and healthy life.
Very beneficial video by Doctor ji
What was you eating
Sounds like u r describing me. Did u become vegan?
Get a boyfriend that loves you.
I’m hearing so many positive stories of people turning their lives around during lockdown. It’s really great to hear. 🤍
Finally, a professional said depression can be linked to bad diet. I am constantly telling my family food choice is EVERYTHING and they always come back with "nah, it's my genes. Can't help it." They just ignore the endless amounts of sugar, processed foods, and soda that goes into their body. It's insane how many people can't accept that food, water, and physical movement are everything.
omg yes. processed food as a treat is fine if you eat healthy enough to defoxify but american diets esp(me included) are not sustainable
@@calli8795 I swear that this is why Americans are about the dumbest people in the world. And this comes from a 100% American. These fake foods are not good for brain health.
@@HealthHorror listen i agree but shaming people doesnt help!
@@calli8795 It's not shaming. It's just stating a fact. And I didn't name any specific person so I see nothing wrong here.
Factssss
When my stomach upset i feel like i am in temporary depression, anxiety,brain frog,hard to understand things,headache,mood swings...etc.
Went from: “It’s all in your head”,
To: “It’s all in your gut”
How very true 🙋
Yes 🙌🏾 the gut is the 2nd brain 🧠
Exactly
The psychiatry actually doesn't know till today what the cause of depression is. The psychiatry and the pharma industry lie to their patients in telling them that they have lack of serotonin and need to take antidepressants to regulate it. Till today, it doesn't give any proof of that!😂
It's all a big business at costs of people suffering 😢
I quit sugar drinks, quit binge eating, eat probiotics. Starts to exercise 20-25 minutes per day & read book. I keep monitor my mood, and i can say that, my anxiety level reduced dramatically.
What type of exercises do you do?

That makes sense. Ever since I’ve made lifestyle changes incorporating a healthy diet of more vegetables, fruits, probiotics and healthy fats, daily cardio and quality sleep, I noticed significant improvement to my mental health. I’ve been suffering severe resistant treatment depression for over 8 years and nothing helped except for a healthy lifestyle.
10 months later I feel great. My enthusiasm for life is back, I’m more productive at work and feel well rested. As a bonus my IBS symptoms disappeared.
Thanks for sharing, my problem is really similar to yours, now I’m trying to change my diet, I’m trying to figure out what would be healthy for me and my mental health… fasting.. keto.. no meat at all.. idk… can you please share ypur diet that helped you? 🙌
@@onceupon5145 hello there, I did consult a nutritionist to assist me with my dietary approach. She said it all depends on people and how they feel after eating. Some do well on keto, fasting and others prefer plant based. For me personally it’s intermittent fasting and a balanced diet with lots of vegetables and fruit. I ensure good hydration and include protein from quality seafood, eggs, chicken and occasionally beef. I consume probiotic rich food like sauerkraut, kimchi and yoghurt. I drink kombucha after dinner and it’s helped my digestion. I don’t do well with extremes like keto, vegan or high carb-low fat, because it’s too restrictive. To be at my best I need variety of carbs, fat and some animal products in my diet. But everyone’s different and you should find what works for you. You will need to try a variety of approaches and note how you feel. I kept a food journal and wrote down what I ate, and how I felt- for example I noted too much dairy caused me bloating and catarrh, white bread makes me sleepy. It will be a journey where you’ll learn how to best nourish your body and mind. It’s hard work but it will be worth it.
Hope that helps. All the best.
@@ralfshmartinfinitewaters4278 oh, you made me emotional with your reply, thank you sooo much, i hope that you are doing well 🙏
@@onceupon5145good luck to us all! I have a similar body lol
What type of Probiotic did you take and for How Long??
As a dietitian at a behavioral health hospital I tell patients about the gut-brain connection all the time.
I don’t ever encourage complete elimination of foods, but rather encourage balanced diet of all good groups- especially fruits & vegetables, and prebiotic and probiotic rich foods.
When the student is ready the teacher will appear. I am grateful to have found this channel today :)
Me too! I'm glad so very grateful my RUclips recommendations decided to bless me today with all of these wonderful videos!
Exactly. I've been listening to my body for a few years, and more and more i could see that relationship between the guts and the brain, since i have dramatic mood changes when i eat fast food and sugary food.
🙁
😀
Never heard that saying before, I like it 😊 funny because I just read something the other day talking about gut health and it was the first time I had ever thought about it… I must be ready 😅
So apparently, what happens in the vagus nerve doesn't stay in the vagus nerve.
😄
😂
lol
Heh heh
Indeed! Haha
My anxiety disappeared after I started eating fermented foods, especially homemade sauerkraut, and fiber.
This is very true. I recently lost a bunch of weight. Before that, I was drinking 7-10 diet sodas per day. Not only was I addicted to the aspartame in them, I was literally flooding my gut with candida, a very bad gut bacteria. It significantly changed the shape of my gut and had me in a near constant brain fog. Since cutting out the diet soda and losing 40 pounds, and feeding my gut with green veg every day, I feel so much sharper and am more easily able to remember things... it's a great feeling. Listen to this advice. Eat spinach, arugula and kale every day.
How are you going now?
U should look into brussel sprouts
I don’t eat any veggies, only meat and I feel way better
Candida is a fungus , not a bacteria
Literally almost cried!!! Why can’t all doctors be like this??? Straight to the point, I got my money’s worth and I didn’t even pay!!!

"Even if you've never been depressed or anxious". What a beautiful experience that must be.
Right? Can’t relate

I poop every day
Everyone was anxious at some point. All humans have so kind of insecurities and we are afraid not to live up to other's expections of us, especially people at the top. And depression.. is a lack of power. Because that's what's life about, giving power and getting power. But if you keep giving power and don't get it back, obviously you end up depressed. My recommendation is if you are at the bottom of the hierarchy then don't give people above you the power if they don't give it back, try to climb the ladder or find a job that allows you to be in a position above others and you end up getting power and start respecting yourself again and do the things that are good for you and that's the end of depression... but if you lose the power again, you will fall deep. because the more you have, the more you can lose.
Actually, believing in the one and only King of kings and Lord of lords Jesus Messiah can give you peace.. one love
I've been eating clean and less processed since the end of October. So far I've lost 10 lbs on my own without exercise. I'm about to start going on walks once it gets warmer. I literally feel the happiest in my life.
After a lifetime of vague anxiety and depression, I removed sugar from my diet and eat whole foods, only. This had nothing to do with mood. I'd accepted that this was a fact of life... I was very wrong. It's gone. All gone. Life is good and I'll never go back.
Depression can be genetic and due to trauma.
I struggle with a lot of mood swings and dealing with random sadness and anger, but when I take good care of my body by eating good food and working out, I'm able to control that and live a better and calmer life. So yes, definitely true that the gut does control the mind.
This is my battle ! Thank u I will try this
Same!!! I’m a different, happier, calmer person when I take care of my overall health😭🙌🏼

Thank you for sharing, I will try this remedy.@Aria Stark
As a clinical microbiologist, this video made me SO HAPPY! Thank you for sharing this information and giving gut bacteria the credit they deserve--you cannot be healthy unless your microbiome is healthy! Remember that your gut bacteria also produce about 95% of your body's serotonin (source: APA). Diet and lifestyle are SO important to keeping your gut flora happy. Don't just feed yourself--feed your microbiome too :)
Yeah, but this serotonin is working in the guts, not in the brain though. There are no mechanisms that are able to transport serotonin to the brain, and the relationship is much more complicated. Ofc you would feel better if you start eating better, replenishing deficits. It's not magic and has little to do with "gut microbiome" because science does not even know what the "healthy microbiome" is. Additionally, the individual's microbiota is thought to be in the state of equilibrium, therefore only prolonged changes (months or even years) in lifestyle may somehow influence its composition.
Bottom line, if you're a scientist indeed, you shouldn't sensationalise the information.
Thoughts on Apple Cider Vinegar?
As a helicopter this pleases me greatly.
@@vvortex2931 wtf do mean there's no mechanism that will transport the serotonin u have the fucking blood stream how tf do u think nutrients get around after being absorbed by the intestines, the same fucking place the probiotics are at
@@menacetosociety9076 calm down, nutrients do not cross blood brain barrier (with exceptions, like alcohol, but serotonin molecule is too big). Special protein transporters do it. But as serotonin is a neuromediator, the whole serotonin in the brain is synthesised on spot by demand.

When I started eating a raw fruit and vegetable based diet my mood improved SO much, all the probiotics and prebiotics, vitamin c, minerals, lack of dehydrating foods, it healed me
It completely changed my life.
My friends didn't even recognize me, the change was that huge.
Dr. Alan Goldhamer's information is what helped me.
Tigana how long did it take and what foods did you eat?
Wtf can we eat on a raw diet to feel full? Im veg but i need help going raw
@@Itsunclegabby You deserve it. I’ll have to look his work up
@@user-ry7wf4hi9w Certain foods immediately lift my mood like green smoothies but I noticed a difference within 2 weeks. I forgot about my anxiety medication. Steam your vegetables at first so your gut can ease into the change
Once I fixed my gut through food, my whole life changed. I never thought I would be where I am today and that is all because God is good and showed me how to fix my gut
No science did. Science that was discovered by other people. Ergo other people helped you.

Wow, so informative. Someone who gives you the facts, corrective measures and doesn't talk at you. Thank you, I'm appreciative for the help.❤
I love that you went into detail about the vagus nerve and how it is related to the gut microbiome. Thank you!
That's why you shouldn't get surprised if you get depression after antibiotics.
Should not do not?
Yes! I took a zpac for a sinus infection a few years and had a panic attack on the 4th day.
I'm on antibiotics but I take it with acidophilus & citrus pectin 3 x daily.. it helps my digestive system and my overall mood.
Thank you for sharing this... I just finished 2 rounds of antibiotics
Yes so true. Antibiotics are not good for us
1. Eliminate processed sugar, foods and meat.
2. Mediterranean diet
3. Prebiotics: garlic, bananas, onions, wine, oily fish, oats, walnuts etc.
4. Probiotics: pickles, kombutcha, sourkrout, yogurt (take the capsules on an empty stomach)
5. Increase your exercise
6. Sleep 7-9 hours a night
Are we to leave #3 out??
I cannot tolerate garlic, bananas, onions or alcohol. My body literally treats it like a poison.
Red meat does the opposite. It resets the gut and lowers inflammation. Ask anyone on the carnivore diet
I don't know how to put this words, but Im extremely thankful and grateful for your content Ms.Tracey, you've single handedly changed my life for the better. I love you so much and if I get rich, I'll make sure to send a large donation over to you. Thank you so much for existing and god bless.
My depression was triggered by taking a 3 day course of antibiotics called Flagyl/Metronidazole. After completing the 3 day course I woke up with a terrible headache followed by severe depression and then ultimately anhedonia. I am now working on rebalcing my gut microbiome with the help of great informational videos such as this one.
I was just thinking about this... my anxiety is always linked with my having bloating and stomach pains
my anxiety gets really bad when im constipated
Anxiety makes your digestion very hard, not the other way around. But it's a Never Ending cycle
My anxiety is bad when I have gas. I was taking tums everyday but I gotten some Seamoss that helps with my stomach problems.
Same here. Activia yogurt helps me alot and curbs my appetite because my depression and anxiety causes me to be hungry all the time and it drives me crazy so I bought some probiotics. I made sure the same ingredients in Activia were included plus a few extras like fiber, etc..

A healthy microbiome makes me a fungi to be around.

Thanks for the specifics on the bridge between gut health and mental health. Light meals or an empty stomach so the probiotics can safely navigate through the stomach acid. Emphasizing aerobic exercise. Also (probably the most crucial), how gut bacteria is negatively affected by poor sleep. New subscriber!
Maybe that's one of the reasons that I feel my general mood better since I started..:
1 drinking fermented milk, 2 - supplementing vitamins 3 - exercising everyday.

This explains why every time I eliminate starches and sugars from my diet, I feel better and I'm so much stronger
Starch is good for you (potatoes, rice, squash). It's the processed sugar that should be avoided.

Higher dose Vitamin D is the most important thing you can take for a good Microbiome.
@@Whereismyname34 Vitamin D also acts as a tonic. Those who are deficient often get depressed.

Yes! My anxiety and intestinal issues go hand in hand.
Same and stress
Absolutely! There are a few issues that have to do with nutrition/the gut that can result in anxiety! For example, hormone imbalances, caffeine consumption, food sensitivities, and nutritional deficiencies (like with magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin B6, serine, choline, copper, chromium, selenium, and zinc), can all lead to anxiety!
My anxiety and intestinal issues go hand in hand as well.
This video was so helpful and educational, thank you so much Dr. Marks!
I absolutely love Dr. Tracey: the way she explains things is simplistic and unique and her voice is music to the ears.
She is supreme
As a person with Crohn's disease and chronic depression I can personally attest to the fact that there is a noticable link between gut health and mental health. Many doctors tend to ignore this though, both gastroenterologists and therapists, which is a shame. Colons are fascinating. :)
The problem with this disease is you can only eat a certain diet to not have a flare up but that diet can give you depression and anxiety,,, a balanced customized diet is better cooked meats vegetables fruits nuts cheeses no processed sugars no bread cookies cakes candies etc,,, 1 kiwi everyday, low carb
How do you eat? I have Crohn's as well
@@zacw812 eat low carb, and gradually work your way to keto. Replace sugar with natural sweeteners like stevia, monkftuit, erythritol. Stop eating gluten as it eats away at your gut lining. Eat foods rich in collagen as collagen rebuilds your gut. Search for a list of prebiotic/probiotic foods. Research supplements like L-glutamine, slippery elm, aloe vera, Colostrum (only if you know you dont have intolerance to dairy). I personally recommend trying a supplement from the brand ancestral supplements. They make supplements from almost every animal organ you can think of and the idea is that consuming animal organs can heal the corresponding organ in your own body.. I take the prostate supplement and it amazes me how fast and noticeably it worked.. for people with crohn's I'd go with the intestines and or the collagen. You can read the reviews on these supplements and virtually all who buy them swear by it. Read the reviews for the intestines products on amazon and you'll see plenty with crohn's and colitis that tout remarkable results. Good luck.
Cold Hand, Of course you are correct. 60,000 thoughts a day. Practicals are needed to reprogramme the mind. Heal yourself from negative thoughts. Your breath is directly related to your mind causing negative thoughts-anxiety-stomach problems. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your natural incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 10-15 minutes or more. Let thoughts come. Slowly negative thoughts will reduce and relax the mind. Whenever you are free sit still for a few minutes and observe your breath. Being still reduces negative thoughts. Make it a habit. Do the above meditation regularly to have a better life. Best wishes and prayers. Shyaaam Sir. Counsellor.

@@jlockwood65 I try to fast at least 16 hrs with 8 hr eating window or shorter, with longer fasting times periodically. I do have coffee with some whole cream though. I try to stay under 20 grams of carbs however I do not count the carbs in leafy greens like salad, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and avocados. I do not eat starchy or “colored” vegetables. I only add flavor and/or cook with butter, pork/beef fat, olive oil or avocado oil. I eat a lot of beef, pork, fish and cheese. If you are disappointed no need to count calories. I am not I can still over eat on good food as well, so I count carbs and calories but not at a major deficit, so I don’t get frustrated or hungry. I do allow myself cheat days like holidays and when someone offers to buy my lunch. I do not go out to eat very often since it can be hard to follow keto but it is possible. I also try to maintain a schedule when I eat and when I fast as well as when I go to bed, how long I sleep and when I wake up. Anything else?
@@jlockwood65 I forgot to add since I not eating processed foods I need to make sure my salt and other electrolytes are up. I recommend “real salt.” Just fyi I also use nutritional yeast, vitamin D3 and magnesium.
Hi! I’m curious if you take any other medication for your bipolar?

Randomly came across this video and now I’m intrigued! Because I recently noticed this! Food actually affects my mood. Thank you, gotta subscribe!
It's interesting how wide a range of health concerns of many different mechanisms are seemingly all improved by the very same actions of: Eat well, sleep enough, and exercise.
And don't forget reconnected with Sun, fresh air & barefoot on earth. (See Earthing The Movie here on RUclips.)
I poop every day
A great book that speaks alot about the vagus nerve and trauma is" the body keeps the score"
Will have to read this book.
I read this book and it scared the crap out of me. Every page was talking about me. I immediately got a therapist lol.
Audiobook right here on YT.
I'm 80 pages in the book and it's amazing
Yo fecal transplant is CRAZY but my microbiome told me these things quite a while ago. Glad I started listening. Also glad to hear this. Will research further. Keep it up!
Thank you for creating this channel and sharing this information with us all 🎉🎉🎉
I'm going to get a good nights sleep tonight, eat lots more yogurt, and skip the next McDonalds hamburger because of this video 🙃💪
Is yogurt good for autoimmune?
Get a happy meal
Screams in insomnia.
@Ben C nothing will make you fat, unless you eat too much - everything will make you fat, if you eat too much.
@Ben C 💯💯💯 it’s bovine breast milk, nothing healthy about that.
I just want to take a moment to appreciate the people who volunteered to get a fecal transplant for the sake of science 👏
I have IBD. Trust me when you’re sick enough with that, you’d pretty much do any test or treatment. eg a fecal transplant is child’s play compared to pan-colitis.
Some of the studies just involve taking capsules of specially screened fecal matter. Sounds like the easiest way to get it, but unfortunately now in the US outside of a study the only FDA-approved way to get these capsules is if you’re being treated for C difficile infection.
@Roxy Lee *You reminded me, that **_ANY_** nurse can smell those words, "C difficile"!* 💯
I’d take me some Tom Brady
@@roxyiconoclast Fecal capsule? Talk about eating sh!t 💩
OMG this doctor has made me feel less alone and crazy in the world!!❤
Awesome video. You did a great job describing the vagus nerve.
I feel like the way people use languages often reveals more truth than we realize: "GUT feeling", "PAY attention" "SPEND time" etc
So how else would those be phrased?
“Yoga MATT”, “what a REACH”
You are simply "The Best", Dr. Marks! The timing for this could not have been better. Thank you!
Dr. Thank you so much for the info. After years of struggling with Anxiety I found out the only times I am not stressed or anxious, is when I am fasting (Islamic fasting with no food from sun rise to sunset), I thought it was only me? Now I understood my gut is really connected to my brain
I literally figured this out by myself and dealt with bad mood swings while constipated but would feel like a whole new person after pooping. Then I started looking this stuff up and found out it was true!! I thought I was crazy!! This is amazing!
Yay! Thank you for the tip to take probiotics on empty stomach.
I poop every day
This is great content. The brain gut communication is so largely overlooked, in the settings of a combination psych/GI disorder. Thank you, and keep the education coming.
OMG I just knew that had something to do with it. I suffer from major depressive episodes- only 1 manic episode. I knew the exercise was key and was honing in on the sleep, but I’ve been trying to fix everything the wrong ways. OMG Dr Tracey, I’ve been suffering needlessly all these years???? And none of my drs would give me a newer mood balancer like vraylar. I feel so robbed. Most of my life is gone- all that time spent in the bed, wasted. I can’t even believe it. I feel so cheated.
Thank you so much for your videos Dr Tracey. I get defensive and don’t want to watch them, but now I’m hooked because I want to get well. I had about 6 months of wellness in 2010, when I walked my dog every day, ate right, and slept right. I thought it was the abilify - no wonder it wouldn’t work again!
I’m not going to fool around anymore about exercising and getting my proper sleep hygiene - I’ve been working on the sleep for about two years now - still have revenge bedtime procrastination, but I’ll kick it. At least I can fall asleep if I get into the bed.
Thank you Dr. Tracey and I thank God for you and your videos. I’m going to start all over again and this time, I’m going to make it. I can’t smile about it yet, but I know I will, because I’m going to get my life back. 6 good months out of 59 years is not enough. Thank you 🙏 again ❤
You’re a lifesaver!! Thank you for sharing your wisdom, years of experience… and passionate healing heart… bless up 🙏🏾❤️🔥
Thanks Dr. Tracey, I'm going to read everything you recommend. Because you are the first Doctor to me that has really made sense. I typically fast forward Doctors but there's something about you that made me watch all your videos on depression, anxiety and everything else. I'm going to recommend you to everyone I know. Thanks so much
