Your Second Brain: How Gut Health Controls More Than You Think

Your gut is more than just a digestive organ — it’s the powerhouse behind your overall health. Home to trillions of bacteria, the gut microbiome influences everything from your immune system to your mood and weight.

Gut and Weight

A healthy gut helps regulate metabolism and hunger. An imbalance can lead to weight gain or difficulty losing weight. By improving gut health, you can support healthy metabolism and weight management.

Gut and Mood

Your gut communicates with your brain through the “gut-brain axis”. Poor gut health can contribute to anxiety, depression, and brain fog. A balanced microbiome, on the other hand, may help stabilise mood and mental clarity.

Did you know that about 95% of serotonin and about 50% of dopamine is produced in the gut?

Tips for a Healthier Gut

• Eat a varied, fiber-rich diet

• Incorporate probiotics (like yoghurt and kombucha)
