let’s talk about this very important relationship  between your brain and your gut okay it’s  

bi-directional in other words there’s nerve  signals that go from your gut to your brain and  

back down from your brain to your gut i’ve done  a lot of videos on the autonomic nervous system  

and i usually talk about the sympathetic  nervous system which is the phletophyte and  

the parasympathetic nervous system which is rest  and digest okay now the vagus nerve that comes  

from your brain stem down into the gut is all  parasympathetic but there’s a third part of the  

autonomic nervous system that i rarely talk about  and that is called the entire nervous system there  

are more nerves in the entire nervous system than  there are in your spinal cord and so if there’s  

anything going wrong in your gut signals are sent  up to the brain and can directly cause anxiety  

depression schizophrenia any altered emotional  state thus the importance of having a healthy gut  

now on the flip side if there’s anything  going on in the brain as far as stress  

that can cause physical problems in your  gut like being nauseated having heartburn  

stress that originates in your brain can literally  cause you to have an ulcer you can get diarrhea  

constipation and even cramps in your gut if  you are stressed so the entire nervous system  

also has about 30 neurotransmitters that it works  with 90 of serotonin is made by your gut and this  

is why a very common symptom for an ssri which  basically allows serotonin to be reuptaked so it  

increases the amount of serotonin in the attempts  of reducing depression but the biggest side effect  

is gi problems now you know why so the microbiome  is so vitally important for mental health 21  

of people with irritable bowel disease have  depression and there’s been some real interesting  

studies on significant improvement in mood just  by taking a simple probiotic and the importance of  

eating certain not just probiotics but prebiotics  which is the fiber like cabbage like vegetables  

that actually feed the microbes and that then help  the diversity of your microbiome so it’s important  

to consume things like sauerkraut kimchi apple  cider vinegar can help and occasionally even some  

kefir but you have to watch the carbs and also  some people are allergic to dairy so that might be  

an option for some people but not others anyway  thanks for watching this video if you really  

are interested in a very unique probiotic  i’d put a link down below check it out
