The science behind mood and your microbiome. https://www.quietinflammation.com/posts/gut-health/gut-brain-mental-health-new-research/ Sat, 18 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.quietinflammation.com/posts/gut-health/gut-brain-mental-health-new-research/ New research reveals how gut bacteria influence depression, anxiety, and cognition through neurotransmitters, BDNF, and the vagus nerve. https://www.quietinflammation.com/posts/gut-health/butyrate-brain-depression-what-to-eat/ Sat, 11 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.quietinflammation.com/posts/gut-health/butyrate-brain-depression-what-to-eat/ Butyrate from gut bacteria influences depression through BDNF and gene expression. Here's how to actually increase it through diet and targeted supplements. https://www.quietinflammation.com/posts/gut-health/butyrate-feedforward-gene-expression-depression/ Sat, 11 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.quietinflammation.com/posts/gut-health/butyrate-feedforward-gene-expression-depression/ Butyrate from gut bacteria acts as an epigenetic switch — turning on BDNF and turning off inflammation genes linked to depression. https://www.quietinflammation.com/posts/gut-health/butyrate-probiotics-gut-brain-depression-pathway/ Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.quietinflammation.com/posts/gut-health/butyrate-probiotics-gut-brain-depression-pathway/ Butyrate from gut bacteria strengthens your intestinal barrier and may improve depression. Here is what the research shows and how to boost it. https://www.quietinflammation.com/posts/gut-health/butyrate-epigenetics-depression-gene-switch/ Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.quietinflammation.com/posts/gut-health/butyrate-epigenetics-depression-gene-switch/ Butyrate produced by gut bacteria acts as an epigenetic switch — turning on BDNF and turning off inflammation genes linked to depression. https://www.quietinflammation.com/posts/gut-health/ssris-gut-inflammation-depression/ Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.quietinflammation.com/posts/gut-health/ssris-gut-inflammation-depression/ SSRIs recycle serotonin — but gut inflammation steals the raw material to make it. Why half of depressed patients don't respond to antidepressants. https://www.quietinflammation.com/posts/gut-health/tryptophan-steal-gut-inflammation-serotonin/ Thu, 09 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.quietinflammation.com/posts/gut-health/tryptophan-steal-gut-inflammation-serotonin/ Gut inflammation diverts tryptophan away from serotonin into the kynurenine pathway — producing neurotoxic byproducts linked to depression. https://www.quietinflammation.com/posts/gut-health/depression-inflammation-not-chemical-imbalance/ Wed, 08 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.quietinflammation.com/posts/gut-health/depression-inflammation-not-chemical-imbalance/ The immune-cytokine model of depression explains why SSRIs fail for many.
