Did you know that your nasal passages have their own unique microbiome just like your gut?

The two operate very similarly, with a myriad of bacteria that are largely beneficial, cohabitating together in a balanced ecosystem. These bacteria do not cause any health issues in healthy people. However, if something disrupts the equilibrium it can cause certain bacteria to grow unchecked. Anything that decreases the effectiveness of your immune system can create this imbalance in your microbiome.

This imbalance can create both physical and mental symptoms. An unexplained increase in anxiety, depression, brain fog or fatigue could be signs of mycotoxin activity in your body. This is why sinus health is so important when it comes to supporting mental health.

I’m excited to share that I’ll be participating in The Microbes and Mental Health Summit from March 14th to the 21st. I’ll be sharing insights on the sinus microbiome and much more!
