Here's how trauma affects the gut microbiome

Trauma can significantly impact the health of your microbiome.
Trauma can cause reductions in beneficial bacteria and increases in potentially harmful bacteria.
These changes in the microbiome can persist even after the initial trauma, especially if chronic stress continues.
Intergenerational trauma (IGT) is the passing of trauma's effects from one generation to the next. It can manifest in various ways, including impacts on our physical health, specifically the gut microbiome.
Here's how trauma affects the gut microbiome:
Stress Hormones: Trauma triggers the release of stress hormones, which can disrupt the delicate balance of bacteria in the gut.
Before Birth Effects: Even experiences in the womb can affect the baby's developing microbiome, highlighting the profound impact of trauma across generations.
If you're struggling with the effects of intergenerational trauma, consider exploring the gut-brain connection and how it may be impacting your overall well-being.
