E126 | Gut Feelings: The Science Behind Intuition


Listen Later

Share Your Thoughts!

We explore the fascinating scientific connection between the gut and brain, explaining how your intuition is rooted in physical systems rather than just being a mystical "feeling." The gut-brain axis influences our decision-making, clarity of thought, and intuitive abilities through a complex network of nerves, hormones, and microbial interactions.

Today we'll dive into:

• How the gut houses the enteric nervous system (our "second brain") and connects to the brain via the vagus nerve
• How microbiome directly influences production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine
• How Inflammation, stress, and poor diet create "fuzzy" signals between gut and brain
• How to integrate practices like breath work, vagus nerve stimulation, and body scanning to strengthen intuitive pathways

Take our 7-day challenge! Choose one practice to strengthen your gut-brain connection: a post-meal 10-minute stroll, 5-minute breath work before afternoon decisions, increasing fiber intake, or implement a screen curfew before bed.
