Your Gut Has Its Own “Mini Brain”

The digestive tract contains a complex network called the enteric nervous system, made up of over 100 million neurons — more than the spinal cord.

This system can:

  • Control digestion independently of the brain
  • Respond to stress and emotions
  • Influence mood through neurotransmitters like serotonin

Rare detail: About 90% of the body’s serotonin is produced in the gut, not the brain — one reason digestive health strongly affects mental well-being.
