so I wanted to touch on the huge relationship between your digestive

system your gut your friendly bacteria and your mood okay specifically anxiety

stress and worry and even the effect on cognitive functions like lack of focus

or concentration if you don’t have all the microflora the friendly bacteria in

your digestive system specifically Bifidobacterium and lactobacillus it can

potentially - all sorts of problems with your brain chemistry now if you

experience a loss of a loved one it’s normal to have depression if you’re

being chased by a tiger it is normal to have anxiety and stress but what I want

to touch on is what if there’s actually no reason to have depression anxiety

stress or worry I want to touch on the actual physical causation of that

because your microbes actually make proteins and I’m talking about

neurotransmitters neurotransmitters are hormone like proteins that travel

through the you nervous system like gaba for example if you’re lacking gaba but

you can be depressed and then you have serotonin in its relationship to your

mood do you realize that 90% of all the serotonin in your body is made by your

gut only 10% is made by your brain and there’s other neurotransmitters that are

made by your gut as well so if you do not have the right ratios of microbes if

you don’t have enough microbes that can have huge effect over your body’s

ability to make neurotransmitters then you have something called the enteric

nervous system now I’ve done other seminars where I talked about the flight

or fight mechanism it’s called the sympathetic nervous system and then you

have the rest and digest system which is the parasympathetic there’s actually a

third system of the autonomic nervous system that is called the enteric which

is really the connection between all the nerves in your gut and the direct

connection to your brain so what is going on down here can definitely affect

up here so how do we lose our micro flora well mainly through antibiotics

now you might say well I don’t take any buttocks I probably had antibiotics as a

child but I haven’t had them for years but guess what over 80% of antibiotics

are sold as a growth factor for farm animals okay so you’re basically giving

antibiotics indirectly if you’re consuming commercial meats and that’s

why I always recommend consuming organic I will do a separate video on this but

organic means without the use of pesticides insecticides and GMO foods

like glyphosate as well as without antibiotics so I recommend doing that

but it’s sometimes it’s hard if you’re going to going out to dinner because you

don’t really know what you’re getting artificial sweeteners

greatly affect the microflora and your gut as well so if you’re on a diet soda

for a long period of time that could affect your microflora and lastly the

GMO foods which we’re all affected by glyphosate as an herbicide greatly

disrupts our micro flora and it can affect our ability to make proteins so

there’s a couple things you can do that are very simple to improve these three

symptoms right here take a probiotic take a good one that includes these two

as well get a probiotic and a prebiotic together as in sauerkraut kimchi pickles

fermented vegetables when I’m at the farmers market I always get a fermented

vegetable and I consume some fermented vegetables on a daily basis that way you

can kill two birds with one stone because the prebiotic is the fiber and

then it has a probiotic as well and that can help you and avoid the things that

destroy your micro flora these right here these right here these right here

and by the way long-term use of laxatives can really throw off your

micro flora I’ll put a couple links down below if you have constipation so

anything that affects diarrhea medication laxatives or even things that

you’re eating that are like food allergies that are creating that problem

will throw this off and effect these right here all right guys thanks for

watching hey before you go would you mind putting

a comment down below to tell me what you think about this video
