Creating Meals Plans with Engineered Gut Microbes for Neurotransmitter Production to Improve Mental Health

We can manipulate and regulate the biosynthesis, release, and reuptake of neurotransmitters by using naturally occurring microbes in the gut, which we can in turn use to help those with mental health illnesses. We can implement these microbes into meal plans that consumers can purchase from the grocery store, increasing accessibility of treatment. This way people can simultaneously find nourishment and improvement to their mental health.
