Your depression might not be in your head. It's in your gut...
Intestinal permeability — 'leaky gut' — occurs when tight junctions in the gut lining weaken from inflammation, antibiotics, or processed food. This allows bacterial metabolites (including lipopolysaccharides) to enter the bloodstream, triggering systemic inflammation that crosses the blood-brain barrier. 50% of depression cases show measurable microbiome dysfunction. A 4-week elimination of processed food combined with increased fiber intake produces measurable mood improvement.
