Did You Know!
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.
