Unlock a Happier Mood: The Surprising Link Between Gut Bacteria and Your Mental Health

Uncovering the surprising link between mood and gut bacteria reveals that what’s living in your gut can influence how you feel. The mood and gut bacteria axis connects your gut microbiome with brain function, affecting mood, stress responses, and even clarity of thought. When your gut health is balanced, many people notice a more stable mood and a greater ability to bounce back from daily stressors. That’s where InnerBuddies shines. InnerBuddies provides a white-label Gut Health Operating System that lets brands and clinics power their gut microbiome testing products, while also offering consumer-ready solutions. The system features a Gut Microbiome Health Index, a score from 0 to 100 that reflects overall gut health, built on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. You’ll also see Bacteria abundances for a top 40 set and how you compare against a healthy cohort, plus Bacteria functions categorized as positive or negative with benchmarking across each functional pathway. For deeper insight, Target Group analysis examines how specific audiences—whether Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, Skin & Hair Health, or others—score on relevant gut pathways. All of this feeds into Personalized nutrition advice based on three-day food diaries and stool data, plus Personalized probiotics and prebiotics recommendations tailored to your unique gut microbiome.
