Research has shown just how important gut health is to overall health. Gut health is so intertwined with the brain, that it’s been deemed the ‘second brain’. It’s believed that 90% of serotonin receptors are located in the gut, showing just how closely linked gut health is to mental health, too. A unhealthy gut has been linked to food sensitivities, allergies, IBS, sugar cravings, anxiety, depression, acne, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, fatigue, ADHD and much more. Put simply, heal the gut: heal your mind, body and soul. I’ve gathered some of my favorite gut healing recipes from some of the best food bloggers out there + some useful tidbits to help you on your journey to optimum health!
