Can your gut health influence your personality?
Fox News
Microbes in your gut may play a role in certain personality traits, according to a recent exploratory study out of Clarkson University.
"Although we are still learning about the gut-brain connection, based on these exploratory findings we can see that there may be a connection between gut bacteria and trait level energy and fatigue," Ali Boolani, who conducted the research along with several colleagues from various Universities, told Fox News.
Boolani, who is an Associate Professor of Physical Therapy at Clarkson University, and his team of researchers, stated in the published report that the findings provide evidence that the four traits: mental energy (ME), mental fatigue (MF), physical energy (PE), and physical fatigue (PF), may have unique but overlapping gut bacteria profiles.
