What is the gut-brain connection?

Did you know 40% of IBS patients also experience an anxiety disorder?

This is because what happens in your brain can affect what happens in your gut.

The nerves in your stomach are linked to the brain through an internal link called the gut-brain connection.

This is a bi-directional link. This means stress and anxiety can directly upset your gut, it also means you have the power to help reduce physical symptoms with your mind.

Studies suggest that the gut microbiome and its communication with the brain can impact mood, behavior, and various diseases.

You can do some of the following to help-

• Reduce stress levels through activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises.

• Get regular exercise, which can improve gut motility and increase the production of beneficial gut bacteria.
