The gut is called the “second brain” because it has millions of nerve cells that work on their own, just like the brain.
This system, called the enteric nervous system, helps control digestion, absorb nutrients, and send signals to the brain. It also makes important chemicals like serotonin, which affects mood.
Stress, poor diet, and lack of sleep can upset this balance, causing stomach problems and even mood changes.
When your gut has problems, it can send distress signals to your brain, leading to anxiety or stress. Likewise, stress from the brain can upset your stomach.
The gut and brain are always talking through the vagus nerve.
It’s a long nerve that connects your brain to your gut and other organs that acts like a communication highway, sending signals between them.
This connection helps control digestion, mood, and even heart rate.
The vagus nerve helps regulate inflammation and the balance of gut bacteria.
Controlling inflammation is key to clear communications between the gut and brain
If your vagus nerve is mainly busy dealing with too much inflammation in your gut its less able to communicate with your brain.
This can cause brain fog, stomach problems, mood changes, anxiety, and depression.
