Beyond the “Happy Molecule”: A Naturopath’s Guide to Gut Serotonin, the Mechanics of Digestion, and What Fibre Got to Do With it

Artificially-sweetened and Sugary Drinks, and Ultra‑Processed Foods: From Liver Disease to Neurodegeneration
We often separate liver disease, metabolic disorders and dementia into different boxes, but ultra‑processed foods and sugary drinks connect them all.
Chronic exposure to liquid sugar and highly processed products drives fatty liver (MASLD), insulin resistance and systemic inflammation, which then spill over into the brain through the gut–liver–brain axis.
Emerging research links MASLD with higher rates of neuroinflammation, structural brain changes and dementia. Understanding this shared pathway transforms “just a can of soda” into a meaningful lever for protecting both long‑term metabolic health and cognitive function.

Children’s Mental Health: A Holistic and Integrative Perspective
A critical review of the BBC article: “Teen mental health: When to seek help and what parents can do.”
The BBC’s recent article brings much-needed attention to the rising rates of anxiety, depression, and emotional distress among young people. It highlights the importance of open communication, emotional support, and timely access to mental health services. However, several limitations become apparent when viewed through a holistic, naturopathic, and functional medicine lens, especially its omission of nutrition, gut health, and lifestyle medicine, as practitioners and parents increasingly seek holistic solutions. These factors are now recognised as foundational pillars in both preventing and addressing mental health challenges in children and adolescents.

The gut microbiome — often called your “second brain,” even though it is our primal brain — affects almost every organ in your body, including your brain, heart, and immune system. Neglecting your gut health could mean sabotaging your health goals.
