Anxiety and depression are rampant in America right now, with around a third of the population reporting an anxiety disorder and over 20% of adults having a major depressive episode in their lifetime.

Hoards of scientific studies have suggested that diet and gut health have a profound impact on our mental health outcomes through the “gut-brain axis” as well as by the way in which our gut lining can protect our bodies from system-wide inflammation that can then trigger symptoms in the brain. A healthy gut lining and diverse microbiome serves as a strong barrier that limits the “outside world” from being able to overwhelm our bodies and cause problems (read an excerpt from Good Energy about this, here).
