“Do you experience anxiety, depression, or panic attacks? Anxiety is often a symptom of underlying health problems. One major indicator that your anxiety might be related to your gut health is if the anxiety seems to occur sporadically, not connected to current life events.”
“Anxiety and depression are both common symptoms associated with thyroid problems. MTHFR mutations create an inability to effectively detoxify resulting in toxin buildup. Unfortunately, the thyroid is very sensitive to toxicity. Thus, individuals with MTHFR mutations have a predisposition for thyroid issues.”
“The health of your gut is directly connected to the health of your brain. Think about how you feel when you are anxious. Certain sensations such as feeling butterflies or having a knot in one’s stomach might indicate anxiety. The gut is constantly sending messages to the brain, contributing to mood and emotions. Gut infections and bacterial imbalances both commonly create symptoms of anxiety.”
