The Hidden Link Between Gluten and Mental Health
“Food doesn't just affect the body. It also affects the mind.”
Today, our host, Kelly Meehan explores the link between gluten and mental health and walks us through the most common diseases gluten may lead to and why a gluten-free diet could be a powerful tool for those experiencing certain chronic conditions.
When Kelly’s youngest daughter started experiencing mood swings, irritability, and joint pain, she was utterly mystified. That was until her celiac disease diagnosis opened her eyes to the potent link between gluten and mental health. Her daughter’s journey through gluten withdrawal and the subsequent improvement in her mental clarity was an eye-opener that showed the very real impact that gluten can have on our brain as well as our body.
Gluten-induced inflammation may contribute to conditions like anxiety, depression, and brain fog. By considering gluten sensitivity as a potential root cause, it may help to try a gluten-free diet before immediately turning to long-term medication. At the same time, it’s important to know how to test for gluten sensitivity in the first place.
“To truly heal, we must shift our focus from ‘one-size-fits-all’ to the individual.”
Kelly wraps up by unpacking the gut-brain axis and the ins and outs of both celiac and non-celiac gluten sensitivity. From there, we learn how to supercharge gut health with foods like bone broth and fermented vegetables while simultaneously eliminating gluten from the diet.
