Depression and gut health

According to the CDC, 1 in 5 Americans will experience a mental illness in a given year. Mental illnesses can be triggered or aggravated by psychological or environmentally-induced factors. The relationship between brain, body and environment means that mental illness is not just “mental.” On this episode of Live Foreverish, Drs. Mike and Crystal focus on depression. They explore the prevalence of depression, how depression is connected to gut health, and the relationship between probiotics and depression.
