Is Your Gut Causing Your Anxiety?

Are you anxious all the time and don’t know why? Your gut may be playing a bigger role than you realize. Through the microbiota-gut-brain axis, your digestive system and brain are in constant communication. When your gut is off balance, it can influence mood, stress, and even trigger anxiety. (1)

Signs of an Imbalanced Gut

• Gut imbalance (dysbiosis) can show up as:
• Bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, or heartburn
• Strong sugar cravings
• Food intolerances
• Unexplained weight changes
• Anxiety, depression, or mood swings
• Skin breakouts or irritation
• Fatigue or brain fog
• Bad breath (2)

How to Calm Anxiety by Supporting Your Gut

You can improve both gut health and anxiety with simple daily steps. 

• Eat whole foods: focus on fiber-rich fruits, vegetables, and quality protein.
• Add fermented foods: yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi feed good bacteria.
• Reduce processed foods and sugar: these fuel harmful bacteria.
• Stay hydrated: water supports digestion and nutrient absorption.
• Manage stress: meditation, breathwork, or gentle movement lowers gut stress.
• Sleep well: rest allows the gut-brain axis to reset. (3)

Your gut and brain are always communicating. By nourishing one, you naturally support the other. (4)

Creating a Gut-Healthy Routine

Supporting your gut doesn’t have to be complicated. Small, consistent choices like meals rich in whole foods, moments of calm through breath work, staying hydrated, and moving your body all add up. Over time, these daily rituals strengthen your gut-brain connection and ease anxious patterns. (5)
