This research confirms what I have been saying for over a decade. I used to deal with a lot of mental health issues in my twenties when my gut health was my worst. Chronic IBS.

I got my gut fixed with dietary changes and high grade probiotics (VSL#3) and slowly but surely my mental health got significantly better. It took years and I did a lot of work on myself, a lot of mindfulness practice and meditation, lots of physical exercise.

Now I'm an all-around solid dude who rarely has anxiety and has a suit of emotional armor +5 defense swarthy gear all around.
