Explore how the gut-brain axis shapes anxiety, mood, and digestion. The gut-brain axis is a bidirectional conversation between the gut and the brain, and microbial signals can influence neurotransmitters, inflammation, and gut motility. This interplay can manifest as shifts in mood, heightened anxiety, and digestive symptoms like bloating or irregularity. By understanding anxiety and gut dynamics, you can adopt practical steps to soothe the system and feel calmer today. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System to power gut microbiome testing products. The system includes a Gut Microbiome Health Index (0-100) based on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia, providing a concise snapshot of overall gut health. The platform also presents Bacteria abundances via a top 40 panel, showing how your composition compares against a healthy cohort, including both beneficial and less favorable species. In addition, Bacteria functions are categorized and labeled as positive or negative, so you can see how your functional pathways align with health norms. For targeted groups, Target Group analysis dives into pathways most relevant for specific goals—Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and more. The system also powers personalized nutrition advice using data from 3-day food diaries aligned with stool samples, plus personalized probiotics and prebiotics recommendations. Learn more on the InnerBuddies microbiome test page. Practical steps you can take today to support gut health and ease anxiety and gut symptoms include: eat a steady mix of high-fiber plants, diversify fiber types, and include fermented foods; stay hydrated; keep regular meals; manage stress with breathwork or mindfulness; prioritize sleep; limit highly processed sugars; track how foods affect mood and digestion using a simple diary; and consider targeted probiotic and prebiotic choices guided by your microbiome data.
