today we’re going to talk about the secret to not  only reduce the symptom of anxiety but the symptom  

of depression as well it has everything to do  with your microbiome that’s the gut bacteria  

the largest number of nerves outside the brain are  located right down here in your gut also the gut  

and the brain are bi-directional in other words  there’s a huge communication line between your gut  

and your brain what’s happening  down here is going to affect  

up here and it just so happens that your gut  microbiome your microbes make neurotransmitters  

and so all the neurotransmitters like gaba  dopamine serotonin are made by your microbes and  

serotonin can greatly affect your mood and the  people who have symptoms of anxiety depression  

nearly always have gut issues and also your gut  makes me vitamins and there’s a huge relationship  

between all sorts of mood disorders and a lack  of b vitamins if you have gut inflammation  

that’s going to affect your mood so just by  getting rid of inflammation alone that will  

elevate your mood now the other point i want to  bring up is the link between antidepressants and  

how that can affect your gut bacteria it actually  inhibits the growth of your friendly bacteria  

especially the two psychiatric drugs abilify  and nor men and so there’s some slight minor  

side effects with abilify you could gain weight  you can have gi symptoms and with these next  

side effects i am absolutely not kidding you  can have a strong desire to gamble binge eat  

shop and engage in sexual activities now  more common side effects are vomiting  

sleeplessness dizziness and movement disorders and  what’s interesting they don’t even really know how  

abilify works but it has apparently something  to do with neurotransmitters now let’s look at  

something ninety percent of the serotonin  is produced in your gut and you have ssris  

stands for serotonin selective reuptake  inhibitors so these antidepressant drugs  

affect serotonin a big side effect from ssris is  this it decreases the diversity of your microbiome  

and it also creates an alteration in your microbes  and it increases inflammation which all three of  

these increase the need for ssris so what’s wrong  with this picture a lot this is what i’m going  

to recommend if you have depression or anxiety  just focus on your gut get in a good probiotic  

start consuming fermented vegetables i’m talking  about kimchi or sauerkraut pickles things like  

that or even fermented dairy as in kefir maybe  some Bulgarian yogurt and do fasting all three  

of these remedies can have a significant effect  on your mood all right thanks for watching so if
