Colonics and Brain Health

It’s no secret that a probiotic rich diet is important for the function of your body, but many experts are now saying that it’s important for your brain function and overall mood as well. A recent study published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America found that people with a probiotic rich diet were more active and less susceptible to anxiety.

This research has led some experts to believe that the balance of microbes within the gut is directly related to brain health. The National Institute of Health, NIH, has been researching the importance of microbes since 2007, but the concept has been around for more than a decade. According to the research of NIH, the “microbiome” is a forgotten organ within the body, and abandoning its nutritional needs is having a very poor influence on our health. That’s why many experts are now recommending regular colonics for intestinal and brain health.

Researchers found that microbes can influence glycoproteins. These glycoproteins are vital in brain synapse formation in the early stages of development, meaning that they directly influence brain health.  Experts also theorize that the vagus nerve in the stomach directly communicates with the brain via microbes, causing an increase in serotonin levels when there is a healthy balance.

Transformational Health in Palos Verdes and Santa Monica recommends a diet rich in probiotics and fermented foods along with regular colonics for a healthy microbiome.  We believe that regular colonics is key to a healthy brain and a healthy mood. Serotonin, the chemical responsible for the feeling of well-being, is influenced by the microbes in your gut. That’s why you feel better emotionally after a colonic.
