Balance ⚖

12/21/2025

Neuroscience research shows that nearly 90% of the body’s serotonin, often called the happiness chemical, is produced in the gut, not the brain. Serotonin plays a key role in mood regulation, emotional stability, sleep, and stress response. While it acts in the brain, most of it is actually made in the gastrointestinal tract by specialized cells influenced by gut bacteria.

From a psychological perspective, this explains the strong connection between digestion and mental health. The gut and brain communicate constantly through the gut brain axis, a network of nerves, hormones, and chemical signals. When the gut environment is balanced, serotonin production functions more efficiently, supporting calmer moods and emotional resilience. When gut health is disrupted, mood disturbances, anxiety, and low emotional energy become more likely.

The microbiome, which is the collection of trillions of bacteria in the gut, plays a central role in this process. Certain beneficial bacteria help regulate serotonin production and influence how the nervous system responds to stress. Psychology studies increasingly link poor gut health with higher rates of depression, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation.

This connection also explains why chronic stress often affects digestion. Stress alters gut function, which can reduce serotonin signaling and create a feedback loop that impacts mood. Supporting gut health through regular meals, fiber rich foods, adequate sleep, and stress reduction can positively influence emotional wellbeing.

Join us for a cozy Winter Solstice Song Circle (12/21 @ 6p) — a gentle gathering of community, voice, and intention. We’ll sing simple, heartfelt songs together (with song sheets provided), welcome the grounding rhythm of drums, and create space for reflection as we light candles to release what’s ready to go and call in what we’re ready to receive. All voices and all levels of participation are welcome — whether you sing, hum, or simply sit with the energy. Come settle into the season’s stillness and celebrate the returning light with us.
