Absolutely! Your gut is home to trillions of tiny microbes that produce over 90% of the body’s serotonin, the “feel-good” hormone. When your gut is healthy and balanced, it sends happy signals to your brain through the vagus nerve, lifting your mood. But when disrupted by things like poor diet, stress, or antibiotics, it can trigger anxiety, irritability, or low mood. Load up on probiotic-rich foods like curd and pickles, and eat plenty of fiber to keep your gut and mood in check. And remember, if sadness or mood swings last too long, it’s time to talk to a doctor.
