Gut & Mental Well-Being Connection

Did you know that your gut produces 90% of one of your most important neurotransmitters?

  • This neurotransmitter modulates your:
  • Mood
  • Cognition
  • Learning
  • Memory

Low levels of this neurotransmitter called serotonin have been linked to anxiety, brain fog and depression.

In other words:

Your GI health directly impacts your mental and neurological health.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg:

You have a direct connection from the intestines to your brain through the vagus nerve. It runs from the brain, through the lungs, heart, spleen, liver, kidneys, and down to the intestines.

But get this:

The intestines can still function if the nerve that connects them to the brain is severed. So if the nerve doesn’t control function, what is it for?

Scientists were shocked to learn that about 90 percent of the fibers in the vagus carry information from the gut to the brain and not the other way around.

Imagine that – 90% of the information exchanged between our brain and gut goes from the gut TO the brain.

It’s clear that the gut is more than just a “second brain” – it’s vital to our well-being in every way.
