For many years, we’ve been told that our mood disorders are caused by chemical imbalances in our brain, that we may be lacking certain neurotransmitters. On the surface, this makes a lot of sense, but is it true? Currently there is another line of thinking, with quite a lot of science to back it up, saying our current understanding may be wrong. What they’re finding is that what may be causing our mood issues is poor gut health and inflammation. Our brain is connected to our gut via the vagus nerve. What is happening in our gut has a direct link with what is going on in our brain.
