Anxiety isn’t just in your head , but in the gut .

Ever hear the phrase trust your gut ... well here’s why ...

Remember having tummy aches as a child when you were upset? Children with chronic stomach pain may actually be suffering from anxiety and depression.

Scores of children and adolescents — nearly one in four — have chronic stomach pain, writes researcher John V. Campo, MD, with the Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

This is no coincidence that we feel anxiety in our guts BUT the real question is; is the gut actually causing the anxiety. So many important brain chemicals that help normalize our moods are made in the gut.

While cognitive therapy and antidepressants that increase brain chemicals can be effective treatments for depression, these treatments don’t work for more than a third of depressed patients and for many the drugs become less effective the longer they are on them. More recent theories of depression suggest that an imbalance in gut microbiota and dysfunction in the axis connecting the gut and the brain may be involved.

So I was feeling so low in myself mentally and physically .

So yesterday I gave Thrisha a call and popped myself into the Inner Health clinic .

Feeling sluggish and super comfortable as I walked through the town .

Looking at myself in the windows as I walked by and hiding my bloated belly .

you've done it too?? yes, well your not alone .

So it takes about an hour for the colonic to be completed .

when the hour was finished I got myself ready and heading to the main Entrance I was met with a 76 year old women who was next in for a colonic .

A 76 woman coming in with bags of shopping and she was glowing .

She puts her beauty and health routine down to colonics . Attending the inner health clinic for years she swears by colonics .

Dont know about you , but I sure as want to be as happy and cheerful when I’m that age .

As I left my stomach felt unbloated , I felt lighter i had that bounce back in my step .

The brain fog had lifted and I felt I could think straighter .

Below is a before and after picture That I took before the clonic and then one I took last night before bed .
