The Psychobiotic Revolution by Scott Anderson
Mood, Food, and the New Science of the Gut-Brain Connection
This book explains how the gut microbiome influences brain function and mental health, reviewing research that links gut bacteria to mood, anxiety, stress resilience, and cognition through the gut–brain axis (immune signaling, neurotransmitter production, and the vagus nerve). It surveys studies of probiotics, prebiotics, diet, and fecal transplants as potential treatments, highlights promising findings and translational challenges, and stresses practical lifestyle approaches while cautioning that much of the evidence is early-stage and likely to require personalized interventions.
