Did You Know!
Your gut has its own nervous system that can operate independently of your brain
The digestive system contains over 100 million neurons, forming what scientists call the enteric nervous system. This network can function without direct input from the brain, controlling digestion, enzyme release, and gut movement on its own.
👉 That’s why intense emotions can affect digestion instantly—and why gut problems are strongly linked to anxiety and mood disorders.
Many researchers now refer to the gut as a “second brain.”
