Healthy Gut Found to Reduce Effects of Trauma: Study Explains the Link Between the Gut Microbiome and PTSD
(Michelle Simmons) A new study found that a healthy gut can lessen the effects of trauma, as reported by Science Daily.

They compared the gut microbiomes of 18 individuals with PTSD to 12 people who also experienced trauma, but did not develop PSTD. They found a combination of three bacteria that were different in people who suffered from PTSD. These were Actinobacteria, Lentisphaerae, and Verrucomicrobia.
Scientists Stunned to Learn That Gut Bacteria Seem to Have Control over Your Moods and Brain Function
(Rhonda Johansson) Scientists have now proven a link between gut microbes and emotions in humans. This is the first time that behavioral and neurobiological differences associated with microbial composition have been studied in this way. Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles observed 40 healthy women and attempted to identify brain and behavioral characteristics based […]
