Did You Know!
Your Stomach Has Its Own Mini “Brain”
The stomach is part of the enteric nervous system, often called the “second brain.”
It contains millions of nerve cells that allow it to operate semi-independently from the brain. That’s why digestion continues even if communication with the brain is reduced.
This gut-brain connection is also why:
- Stress can cause stomach pain
- Anxiety can trigger nausea
- You get “butterflies” before a big event
Your emotions and your stomach are neurologically connected.
