gut health

A healthy immune system is designed to protect your body against and even attack foreign or harmful cells in your body. When we fill our bodies and systems with over processed foods, sugar laden drinks or excessive alcohol, our natural defense systems are compromised and our gut’s permeability increased.

The Gut: The “Second Brain” and Its Vital Role in Mental and Physical Health

The gut, often called the “second brain,” plays a critical role in both physical and mental health. This intricate system of neurons, known as the enteric nervous system, operates independently from the brain, influencing everything from digestion to mood regulation and mental well-being. In fact, research has shown that the gut is home to trillions of beneficial bacteria that help regulate brain function, emotional health, and even cognitive performance.

A staggering 90% of the body’s serotonin, often referred to as the “feel-good hormone,” is produced in the gut, further emphasizing the profound link between digestive health and mental clarity. This gut-brain connection means that maintaining a healthy gut microbiome is essential for overall well-being, impacting everything from energy levels to emotional stability and cognitive sharpness.

If you’re looking to boost your health and achieve better mental and physical balance, prioritizing gut health is key. Functional wellness practices can help optimize digestion and improve mood.
