The present invention is directed to beneficially directing the bidirectional communication that exists between the brain and the gut so as to influence brain physiology, psychological responses and ultimately behavior in a positive manner by regulating an individual's mood, psychological symptoms, such as anxiety and depression and stress-related changes in brain function, by modifying the gut microbiome of an individual. An various embodiments, an individual's microbiome is modified in a manner to reduce the likelihood of stress, to reduce or treat symptoms affecting mental health and to promote the mental health of the individual. In certain embodiments, administration to an individual of at least three different bacteria species are combined to modify an individual's microbiome, selected from the group of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei, Coprococcus, Roseburia, Bifidobacterium, L. casei and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, to reduce adverse psychological and/or physiological responses attendant to psychological stress. Other embodiments reduce certain bacterial populations, such as Veillonella and Megasphaer, while in other embodiments, bacteria that produce hydrogen sulfide, methane and acetate are reduced to beneficially affect an individual's mental health.
