It was first thought that the brain was separate from other organs and functions in the body, but more and more we are seeing research revealing a connection between our brains and the rest of our body. One such connection is between our brain and our gut, directly impacting our mind, mood and microbiome. But what do these connections mean and how do they each influence each other? Can your gut health affect depression and anxiety?
