Gut bacteria are pivotal in regulating stress hormones and circadian rhythms, with specific strains like Lactobacillus reuteri peaking at certain times to support stress adaptation.
When gut bacteria are imbalanced or depleted, emotional control and stress management brain regions are affected, leading to increased anxiety and poor adaptation to stress.
Resilient individuals demonstrate unique patterns of gut bacteria that contribute to anti-inflammatory responses and enhanced emotional regulation, indicating a biological basis for psychological resilience.
Chronic stress damages the gut barrier, resulting in reduced beneficial bacteria and inflammation that negatively impacts brain function and exacerbates anxiety.
