Gut Feelings Are Real: The Science of How Your Gut and Brain Communicate


Listen Later

In this episode of Wellness Demystified, I’m diving into the fascinating science of the gut-brain connection—and trust me, it’s way more than just a wellness buzzword. Did you know that your gut and brain communicate constantly through the vagus nerve? Or that your gut produces 95% of your body's serotonin, the "happy chemical"?

We’ll explore:

  • How your gut acts as your "second brain" and why it’s key to mental clarity, mood, and energy.
  • The role of your gut microbiome in influencing brain chemistry and even your stress response.
  • Real-life examples of how poor gut health might be behind those energy crashes, brain fog, and mood swings.
  • My 3-3-3 method, a simple framework to start supporting your gut and brain health today.
  • If you’ve been feeling “off” and can’t figure out why, this episode is packed with actionable tips to help you reconnect with your body and make small changes that create big results.
