Probiotics & Depression

Good moods and molds issues!

Probiotics work to boost mood  and reduce mold toxicity in two important ways:

1. Generating a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)
2. By enhancing brain receptors for GABA

Emily Deans, M.D., “GABA is a nice glass of wine in front of the fire.  GABA is restful sleep.  GABA is tranquility and yoga.”

Naturally produced GABA does many beneficial things for your body, including:

• Calming the nervous system
• Promoting tranquil sleep
• Minimizing anxiety
• Alleviating depression

Who couldn’t benefit from more GABA?

Boosting Your Bacteria

Probiotics are found in many food sources, such as yogurt, kefir, miso, tempeh, and even sauerkraut.  But beware of claims that simply adding these foods to your diet will give you a therapeutic dose.  Current studies support the use of probiotic supplements in order to significantly replenish beneficial bacteria in your gut and boost GABA.

In addition, experts caution you to keep two very important guidelines in mind when it comes to depression:

1. Anyone struggling with significant depression should always seek professional help, even for natural treatments.
2. Never stop taking an antidepressant medication without your doctor’s supervision.
