Probiotici e salute mentale: come la salute dell'intestino migliora l'umore

It explores how probiotics influence mood and mental health through the gut-brain axis. The interplay between the gut microbiome and brain health is a rapidly expanding research area and forms the foundation of discussions around probiotics and mental wellness. It suggests that probiotics may impact mood through various pathways, including metabolite production, immune signaling, and communication with the brain via the vagus nerve. For teams and individuals seeking to apply these insights, InnerBuddies provides a white-label Gut Health Operating System to support gut microbiome testing products, combining scientific insights with scalable solutions. With InnerBuddies, it allows quantification and comparison of gut health in ways relevant to mood and mental wellness. The platform includes a Gut Microbiome Health Index, a score from 0 to 100 reflecting overall gut health, developed through an exclusive IP agreement with EAFIT University in Colombia. It also presents Bacteria Abundances—a top 40 list comparing one's composition against a healthy cohort—and Bacteria Functions, categorizing microbial metabolic activities as positive or negative and benchmarking against healthy references. Additionally, Target Group Analysis examines how the microbiome behaves in specific contexts, such as Healthy Aging or sports-focused groups, aiding in interpreting mood-related signals practically. Beyond measurement, it offers personalized nutrition and probiotic guidance to support individual goals. Using data from 3-day food diaries combined with stool samples, it builds a large database on how specific foods impact gut microbiome health, enabling tailored nutritional recommendations. It also provides personalized advice on probiotics and prebiotics aligned with individual microbiome profiles and mood targets. For consumers, InnerBuddies ships gut testing solutions with direct access to the same science-backed insights provided to B2B partners. Product details can be found at InnerBuddies microbiome test, or ongoing care options via subscription at InnerBuddies Gut Health Membership. To turn scientific insights into actionable steps, it recommends mood-friendly habits that complement a gut-focused approach: consuming a diverse range of fiber-rich foods to nourish beneficial bacteria; including fermented foods regularly when appropriate; maintaining consistent sleep and stress management routines; staying hydrated and getting daylight exposure.
