How Your Circadian Rhythm Changes Your Gut

Circadian Rhythm Changes and Your Gut NOTES

Your circadian rhythm activates many brain and body mechanisms during daylight hours to keep you awake. Like intestinal motility, cell signalling, proliferation, intestinal regeneration, gastric acid secretion, activity of mucosal enzymes and carbohydrate as well as peptide absorption.. There’s a bidirectional relationship with your circadian rhythm and intestinal dysbiosis, increased glucose intolerance, obesity, irritable bowel syndrome and metabolic dysregulation. There was a study LINK that showed medical leave frequencies due to IBD, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s that increased after seasonal clock changes. When gut dysbiosis is present, then mental wellbeing is compromised, too, which explains why depression, anxiety and low moods often accompany chronic inflammatory diseases like IBD, colitis, Crohn’s, diverticulitis, diabetes, obesity, PCOS, arthritis, thyroid issues and endometriosis Yes, dealing with the symptoms of many chronic inflammation conditions can cause anxiety and low moods but they are actually a symptom of the condition. Gut dysbiosis causes inflammation. Inflammation causes gut dysbiosis. Gut dysbiosis compromises immune protection because 70% immune cells reside in the gut. Neurotransmitters that are produced in the gut are not produced when dysbiosis is present.   Favorite
