Fifty million Americans live with some type of mental health condition, such as depression and anxiety. In addition to that, six million suffer from dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease.
For over a decade, best-selling author Steven Gundry, M.D., a heart surgeon and the director and founder of the International Heart & Lung Institute as well as the Center for Restorative Medicine, has recommended that patients balance their gut microbiome between good and bad bacteria in the intestines. In addition to better overall physical health, he also noticed the bonus of improved mental health.
“Almost everybody, after six months or so, would say, ‘I’ve weaned myself off of antidepressants. I don’t need them anymore,'” Dr. Gundry told CBN News. “And one of the things that almost every one of them said was, ‘You won’t believe how much my brain works now. I had no idea how much fog I was in.'”
