The Gut MD: “95% of Serotonin is Made in the Gut!” The Food You Eat is Tied to Anxiety & Depression

Podcast briefing

Gut health, responsible for 95% of serotonin production, directly affects mental well-being.

Dr. Will Bulsiewicz explains that most serotonin is produced in the gut, not the brain, and our microbiome influences mental health. Changes in gut health can impact conditions like anxiety, depression, and even cognitive disorders. He emphasizes a strong gut-brain connection and recommends dietary changes as a powerful way to improve overall health.
