Less Stress Through a Healthy Gut!
How can we help you reduce stress?
-
🧠 Stress Molecule
Did you know that your brain and gut communicate with each other constantly? As a result, an unhealthy and inflamed gut contributes to an increased level of the stress hormone, cortisol. More cortisol = more stress. The gut has a powerful influence on your brain and can even manipulate the feeling of stress!
-
🦠 Stressed Bacteria
There are certain “good bacteria” in the gut that have been shown to reduce symptoms of stress. They produce various molecules (such as GABA) and send out signals that help reduce stress. These bacteria also decrease inflammation and improve your immune system. A happy gut plays a key role in stress reduction!

"I would like to let you know how excited I am. We had been on the diet for about two months (my husband eats with us). We felt better with it, but how much better was really only noticed during the Christmas vacations when we had received a large Christmas package and didn't stick to the diet for a while. Well that did give motivation again, because what a difference in gastrointestinal symptoms but also energy in both of us!"
