Did You Know!
Your Gut Contains a “Second Brain” With Over 500 Million Neurons
The digestive tract has its own complex nervous system called the enteric nervous system (ENS).
- It operates independently of your brain, controlling digestion, nutrient absorption, and even mood regulation.
- The ENS communicates with your brain through the vagus nerve, which is why gut health is closely linked to mental health.
Surprising link: Around 90% of serotonin, the “feel-good” hormone, is made in your gut, not your brain.
