Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Krista Samimi, on air from June 29th

Why is taking care of your GUT good for your MENTAL HEALTH? Well, did you know that 60-90% of your “feel good” neurotransmitters are produced in your gut? That’s right. So how you feel is not just “in your head,” but more likely what’s going on in your GUT..Being mindful of the foods you eat, and what you put in your body is an important part to having good gut care.

Here’s a summary of key neurotransmitters and their function… Dopamine – affects your emotions, especially feelings of happiness and joy. Endorphins – interact with the opiate receptors in the brain to reduce your perception of pain. Oxytocin – is known as the love neurotransmitter that promotes connectedness. Norepinephrine – helps mediate focus and attention Serotonin – regulates anxiety and can affect mood, appetite, and sleep. If your gut is unhealthy because of acute or chronic stress, diet, or frequent antibiotic usage, you may notice an impact in your mental health – how you think, how you feel.Your gut knows what’s up about mental health! #gutbrainaxis#mentalhealth#guthealth

Healing at the root with the gut-brain axis regimen.  Moving from stigmas to solutions.  Elevating awareness into action.  My story of successfully living with bipolar disorder for 20 years.  Finding my passion in the mental health and wellness space.  Living with a parent with mental illness.  My dad had bipolar and in 2018 he took his own life.  I also entered into motherhood late in life (42)…I have a 3-year-old son.

Krista Samimi is a Mental Wellness Expert who helps individuals end burnout, level up in life, and create abundance.  Doing things differently with purpose, meaning, and intention is at the forefront of all she does. After 17 years in the corporate world, she left pharmaceutical and healthcare sales to do things differently.  Not only professionally, but personally. What began as trying a holistic approach to her mental health grew into Krista finding a mission and a movement bigger than herself, which ultimately led to her mental wellness business.  She shares her experiences living with bipolar to de-stigmatize mental health disorders.  As a mental health advocate and speaker, she inspires others with her message of hope and healing, and how success is entirely possible even with a mental health condition.   Today she has a successful business where she helps high performers elevate their mental wellness via the Gut-Brain Axis.  She also leads a large team of Wellness Partners.  Together, they are helping others discover their “different” and step into their strengths, and passion and grow into their highest selves
