Anxiety, depression, and burnout are not “all in your head... They’re in your gut.

Your gut makes 90% of serotonin and 50% of dopamine.

When the gut is inflamed, your mind suffers.

Since your doctor won’t tell you this...

Here are 7 ways to fix the gut–mind connection: 🧵 The gut is lined with 500 million neurons—your “second brain.”

It talks to your real brain through the vagus nerve.

When your gut is balanced, you feel calm, focused, resilient.

When it’s inflamed, the signals go haywire—triggering stress, anxiety, and brain fog. Image

Leo Tolstoy.

The most destructive, oddly worshipped, yet ignored problem in the world:

Chronic Stress.

It silently hijacks your brain, burns out your body & mind, and tears down your immune system.

Here’s Dr. Jordan Peterson’s 7-step protocol to unlock your mind: 🧵 Image

Dr. Gabor Maté dedicated his life to curing childhood trauma.

His finding? Trauma is the root of most:

• diseases
• addictions
• stress & anxiety

It's not in your mind and invisible in your genes.

I've collected his 5 most powerful lessons: (THREAD) 🧵 Image

1. Western medicine sees disease as a separate "thing."

But Maté shows illness is not an entity; it’s a process.

Your life, relationships, and environment shape whether disease develops or heals.
