Your Mood Isn’t “Just in Your Head”—It’s in Your Gut

If you’ve ever been told your anxiety, brain fog, or low mood is “just hormonal” or worse—just in your head—you’ve been failed. 

Because here’s the truth: your gut and brain are constantly in conversation. Every emotion, every brain chemical, every energy slump or spiral—your gut plays a central role. And until we start addressing that, no supplement, affirmation, or prescription alone is going to cut it.

The gut-brain connection is a real, clinically-backed axis that involves your nervous system, immune response, inflammation, and even your mineral levels.

And most women I work with have never been told that.

You’re not broken. You’re likely inflamed, depleted, and dysregulated. Maybe you’ve been on antibiotics. Maybe your gut lining is compromised. Maybe you’ve been eating “healthy” but still bloated, moody, and exhausted.

That’s not a character flaw—that’s a gut imbalance.

Serotonin? Mostly made in the gut.

Immune system? Mostly in the gut.

Dopamine? Impacted by your gut bacteria.

Cortisol, histamine, melatonin—it’s all tied in.

Still think your mood is just about mindset?

Let’s also bust another myth while we’re here: probiotics aren’t the cure-all.

If you’re taking one from a random shelf and still drinking wine and eating processed food daily, don’t expect miracles. Gut health is complex. 

It’s about diversity, stress resilience, immune function, and most importantly—daily habits that actually support repair.

At Holistic Self Care Club, we do more than throw supplements at symptoms. We look at root causes. We use testing. We teach you how to listen to your body and respond to it.

And yes, we talk about the real, unfiltered truth—because healing isn’t aesthetic.
