Ask Dr Love air date 5.10 Could Your Bad Mood Be Caused By A Microbiome Imbalance with Dr. Sabine Hazan

Current research shows a correlation between mood and our microbiome–the dynamic world of bacteria, fungus and viruses that comprises more than 50% of our mortal selves.

 

Our internal microbes have a big influence on how we feel. They can make us feel grumpy and “shitty” or make us wound up with anxiety and hyperactivity (as in ADHD).

 

These bugs can even motivate us to eat comfort foods that make us gain weight.

 

The bad microbes can produce excessive acids that eat away at bowel mucosal lining, which creates gaps and leaky gut syndrome… And then toxins can escape the bowel into the inside of our bodies causing more havoc and inflammation anywhere, including the uterine lining, bladder, kidneys, heart, brain and skin. You name it. Inflammation starting in the gut can land anywhere.

 

When we have some kind of inflammation, the last thing we feel is happy and energetic! We feel miserable and “shitty”. Bad mood pervades those dealing with pain and inflammation.

 

To heal, we need to work two ends towards the middle by reducing stress, increasing rest and quality nutrients, and also stamping out the offending microbes.

 

Rather than resorting to a chemical pesticide (antibiotic) that kills all the microbes and sterilizes the gut, a better way is pollinating with other beneficial bacteria so they can fight the good war in the gut and win for us. The fastest way to get that new garden planted is to replace the whole microbiome with a healthy donor’s diverse microbiome (fecal transplant).
