Science reveals link between gut health and exercise motivation

Could motivation to exercise be linked to our microbiome and the species of bacteria that reside in our gut?

And could this be why many people do not get the recommended amount of physical activity required for health?

Researchers treated mice with antibiotics and discovered these mice were getting less of a dopamine hit after their run potentially due to the specific reduction in two types of bacteria, Eubacterium Rectale and Coprococcus Eutactus (1).

The strains produce compounds called fatty acid amides that interact with endocannabinoid receptors in the gut. They found reduced gene expression in the cells' dopamine receptors — which release the neurochemical dopamine. So, mice treated with antibiotics were getting less of a feel-good, accomplished dopamine hit after their run.
