Hey Uplifters!
This week another amazing article came out sharing even more research behind the connection between a healthy microbiome (the trillions of organisms that make up our gastrointestinal system) and good mental health! As you know this is totally up our ally (and we suspect it may be of interest to you too!).
The article Probiotics: Your Microbiome has the potential to improve your mental health, not just your gut health, published in Science Focus shared with us all about how psychobiotics, or supplements filled with brain-benefiting microbes, may be the wave of the future when it comes to mental health disorders!
We are just so excited to share some of the key points of the article with you!
