Everything about your life will finally click if you focus on digestion.
Here’s 17 seemingly unrelated symptoms that are caused by your GUT:

1. DEPRESSION.
Mood issues are the most common manifestations of poor gut health.
Individuals with unexplained major depressive disorder had elevated levels of every marker of dysbiosis and intestinal inflammation measured.

2. ANXIETY.
This is a huge one in my experience, very very often driven by digestive distress.
It can be treated with a gut centric approach.

3. BRAIN FOG.
The classic nondescript lack of mental clarity and focus can be driven by GI bacterial overgrowth.
Especially an overproduction of d-lactic acid from bacteria, a neurotoxin that can cause these symptoms.
Antibiotics can treat.

4. CHRONIC FATIGUE doesn’t come far behind once digestion becomes burdened.
Consistently and strongly associated with elevated levels of intestinal permeability, gut bacterial toxicity and subsequent inflammation.

5. EXERCISE INDUCED FATIGUE begins in the gut!
If you burn out or get tired unusually quickly from exercise (even if you train often), look to the gut.

6. POOR SLEEP.
No amount of magnesium or blue light blocking will save your sleep from a gut issue.
Bacterial overgrowth / dysbiosis can irritate the lining of the intestine, sparking inflammation and stimulating the nervous system, all of which can lead to poor sleep.
Antibiotics have been shown to help.

7. WEIGHT GAIN / OBESITY and INSULIN RESISTANCE can ALL be driven by gut problems.
Giving animals endotoxin (mimic of intestinal dysfunction and permeability) or increased peripheral serotonin (produced during gut inflammation) both INDUCE obesity and insulin resistance.
The term “infectobesity” has been used to describe pathogens, including those in the gut, that can do this too.

8. SKIN ISSUES start in the gut.
They are incredibly common in those with gut issues, as the gut and the skin are inextricably linked.
PSORIASIS is known to be linked to increased intestinal barrier permeability, which is directly tied to various digestive symptoms like reflux, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Very common manifestation of impaired intestinal function.

10. ACNE starts in the gut.
There’s a reason it’s often treated with antibiotics, and goes hand in hand with intestinal permeability and bacterial overgrowth.

11. DANDRUFF starts in the gut.
Another skin condition clearly linked to the gut, it’s been treated successfully with anti-gut-infective probiotics.

12. ALLERGIES start in the gut.
70% of the immune system is in the gut, including the histamine secreting mast cells.
When the gut milieu is impaired and intestinal permeability and inflammation ensue, allergies usually aren’t far behind.

13. CHRONIC NASAL CONGESTION/MUCUS start in the gut.
People with this condition had a 17 FOLD RISK of developing irritable bowel syndrome.
Both conditions are rooted in bacterial driven inflammation, intestinal permeability.

14. LOW TESTOSTERONE starts in the gut.
Markers of intestinal permeability and inflammation are correlated with low T.
Meanwhile, an infusion of bacterial endotoxin (normally originating from intestinal irritation / inflammation / barrier breakdown) acutely lowers androgen production.

15. LOW DOPAMINE.
You’re not motivated because your gut is screwed.
The dysbiosis and associated inflammation from the gut act through multiple mechanisms to suppress dopamine synthesis and enhance its breakdown.
Constipation is a known predictor of Parkinson’s, characterized by dopamine deficit.

16. ADHD.
Focus on the gut before stimulants!
Markers of intestinal permeability are elevated in ADHD, and predict its symptoms.

17. HAIR LOSS.
The gut is an unexpected player.
Inflammation from the intestine can impair the growth of the hair follicle.
Remarkably, a fecal transplant, by improving gut function, was able to restore hair growth in two individuals.
