20 Foods That Naturally Support Mood & Mental Health

Up to 90% of your body’s serotonin — the neurotransmitter that regulates mood, sleep, and emotional stability — is made in your gut, not your brain. That means your microbiome plays a powerful role in how you feel, think, and recover from stress.

If you’ve been experiencing anxiety, low motivation, or brain fog, your gut may be signaling for support. This guide breaks down 20 foods that naturally boost serotonin production by improving gut health, microbial diversity, and nutrient absorption.

You’ll learn how to build meals that support mental clarity, balanced energy, and emotional resilience — using everyday ingredients that feed your “second brain.”

Download the guide and start feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected — from the gut up.

If you’re ready to go deeper, consider a 1:1 gut health coaching to personalize your journey from identifying root causes to creating a plan that works for your body, lifestyle, and goals.
