Discover how neuroinflammation links brain health, mood, and disease through a subtle, persistent pathway. Even low-grade inflammation in the brain can alter neurotransmitter signaling, affect synaptic plasticity, and erode cognitive resilience, with potential implications for mood and long-term disease risk. Hidden triggers include poor sleep, chronic stress, gut dysbiosis, diets high in refined sugars and processed fats, and exposure to environmental toxins. Understanding these neuroinflammation links helps you identify early signals and take practical steps today to protect your brain.
Central to this picture is the gut-brain axis, where gut microbes communicate with the brain via immune, neural, and metabolic routes. When the microbiome is out of balance, inflammatory signals can cross into the brain and influence mood and cognition. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that makes this complex relationship actionable for brands and individuals. Its Gut Microbiome Health Index—an exclusive 0–100 score developed with EAFIT University—lets you quantify overall gut wellness, while the top 40 bacteria and their labeled functional categories reveal how you compare to a healthy cohort. Plus, Target Group analyses tailor insights for topics like Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, and Skin & Hair Health, highlighting microbiome patterns that may relate to neuroinflammation links.
