Can’t calm down?

‘Seed’ your gut 

Stressful events can spike cortisol levels for hours, say University of Florida scientists. Now, scientists believe the problem may stem from the absence of naturally occurring bacteria that “eat up” the cortisol you release. These little guys get wiped out by even one course of antibiotics! The fix: Reseeding your gut with the strain called Bifidobacterium longum 1714. Take it for 30 days, where it will then live on and provide continuous help.

Bonus: German scientists say repopulating the gut with BL 1714 increases calming theta brain waves that help you feel peaceful. Try: Joot Just Calm (JustThriveHealth.com)
