What’s the current gut health craze all about

I’m seeking therapy for quite some time now, but it ain’t helping me much (read: at all). I understand that it may sometimes takes many attempts to find the right therapist. Parallels, I want to do everything I could do for my mental health. Any suggestions what could work? Any mental health course recommendations, if that worked out for you?

As people say ,each and every diseases originates from gut , so how can we improve it and how you are doing it and what steps have you taken that positively changed the quality of your life apart from regular activities, workouts and exercise

- A new study in Nature Communications reveals that a daily fiber supplement can boost brain function in older adults. - In just 12 weeks, participants showed improved memory test performance, hinting at potential Alzheimer’s prevention. - The placebo-controlled trial on twins over 65 highlights the gut-brain axis's role in cognitive health. - Researchers found increased levels of beneficial gut bacteria, Bifidobacterium, in those taking the supplement. - While promising, larger and longer studies are needed to confirm these findings and explore optimal dosages.

Hi all, I am facing gut problems since 5yrs now. I always bloated and constipated. It started off after my school and it has been going on since then. Not sure if this is stress, lifestyle or what. Have tried all the medicines and what not but not getting the root cause. I am physically active as well and that’s also not resolving this. Currently I am working from home therefore I manage somehow but now it’s a huge blocker for my growth. I am just living the life counting every day and not sure how long this will go on. Anyone else facing this or resolved this? Need help on this. Thanks

I wanted to check if anyone in this community has had been facing gut issues like the ones mentioned? If yes how are you guys coping with it. Most of the folks here talk about money, jobs, layoffs etc but I guess health is underrated. I have been suffering from IBS since 7-8 years and has it under control for the past 2 years. Suddenly for severe diarrhoea ( 8-10 times a day). Took usual meds from local doctor for 11 days. Things lined better but again after 4 days diarrhoea started. Since functional diseases don't have a cute, do some of you have it? How do you cope with it. What to avoid and what to do or consume more? I will start with mine: 1. Avoid stress 2. Avoid Outside oily and spicy food 3. Prefer coconut water, buttermilk etc 4. Avoid lactose 5. Avoid some nuts 6. Have fermented items more What ur take and how do you cope? What helped and what didn't? Who are some good doctors who helped and changed ur life (For me it was Akash Shukla in Mumbai)?

What's the obsession with food these days? Instagram has food vloggers, every other women is cooking staple diet with some romantic music in bg & people are going gaga over those videos? These influencers are acting as if they are teaching something which is inaccessible to people for a long time. And then we have pseudo-scientific nutritionists. Every other nutritionists discredits each other's opinion. In essence, they are just like astrologers. Fear mongering about our own diet & gullible people buying expensive shit. The whole food business just like every health & allied business is a scam because they feed on your insecurity. The beauty & cosmetic products is another example. Protein Powder industry. Seeds/Nuts. Man, what a bunch of hype-induced souls.
