Answer to your question depends on functions provided by gut microbes. We can say it's to digest the food and it's symbiotic relationship. But what if this is what we know only on the surface. What if these microbes produce proteins that are absolutely essential for many other functions as well. What if they signal messages that are of neural nature.
It's a pitfall to think that our brain is all we are as it hosts consciousness. I held this view for a long time, so I understand where it's coming from.
But try changing your diet. I won't make any suggestions but there are limitless option to biohack your body. You will see amazing effects on your brain too.
Btw, there's a neural setup i.e a brain in stomach and heart as well.

I don't find fault with anything else you claimed, but what are your credentials with regard to this topic? I'm not trying to gate-keep, but my undergrad was biochem and there are many well-understood fundamentals that some folks are not willing to concede, or that their 'theories' disregard.
- negamax 7y agoI am happy to learn more on this (see my first sentence). But to keep this on focus and constructive. Your diet absolutely influences the protein absorption. Human body does not produce all the proteins that it needs. Need to come from the food. Change food, change bacteria. Change your body's capability to digest/absorb those proteins.

- negamax 7y agoI won't as these things are so experimental. But I will give you an assertion that body and mind influences each other. More so from the body's side than from the mind's

- jesssse 7y agoXylitol is a neat food; it is a sugar alcohol. Xylitol kills some harmful micro organisms like S. Mutans and Candida Albicans. Xylitol will shift fecal bacteria from gram-negative (covered in a layer of slime) to gram-positive (no slime, healthier). Xylitol will cause diarrhea but it's a good kind of diarrhea, plan accordingly.
