Did You Know!

Your Stomach Has a Brain-Like Network (and It’s Smart).

🔍 Fact: The stomach contains around 100 million neurons — more than the spinal cord.

🧠 Why it matters: This “second brain” (called the enteric nervous system) can operate independently of your central nervous system. It’s why your gut can keep digesting food even if your spinal cord is damaged. And yes, it’s part of what causes “gut feelings.”
