How Your Stomach Shapes Your Mood

Jan 16, 2025 | Digestive Health, Genomics, DNA, and Nutrition, Gut-Brain

Did you know your gut health impacts much more than digestion? In fact, your number one health goal for 2025 should be keeping your gut in check!

Your gut is the control center for immunity, energy, mood, and even how well you absorb nutrients. It’s often referred to as your “second brain” because of its powerful influence on your overall well-being.

How Your DNA Shapes Your Gut Health

 Food Sensitivities

Some people have genetic predispositions to gluten or lactose intolerance, causing bloating and discomfort.

 Detoxification Ability

Certain genes affect how efficiently your liver and gut clear toxins, impacting overall gut health.

 Inflammation Control

If your DNA shows a higher likelihood of inflammatory responses, focusing on gut-friendly, anti-inflammatory foods can make a huge difference.

My 3 Actionable Tips to Keep Your Second Brain Healthy:

 Eat the Rainbow: Prioritize fiber-rich fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to feed good gut bacteria.

 Hydrate & Destress:
 Drink plenty of water and manage stress with deep breathing or daily walks.

 Choose Fermented Foods: Yogurt, kimchi, and kefir promote healthy bacteria growth—ditch the processed stuff!

But here’s the catch: what works for one person’s gut may not work for another. This is where personalized health comes into play.

Your genetic makeup can influence how your gut processes different foods, manages inflammation, and balances beneficial bacteria. Through DNA-focused health strategies, I help clients uncover what their bodies need to thrive, from identifying potential triggers to crafting personalized nutrition plans that support gut healing and overall wellness.
