Did You Know?

Did you know your gut has its own nervous system? It is called the enteric nervous system, and it contains hundreds of millions of neurons, more than are found in your spinal cord. Scientists often call it the body's “second brain” because it can manage digestion largely on its own, without direct instructions from your brain.

This second brain stays in constant contact with your brain through the vagus nerve, which is part of why gut health can influence mood and stress levels. Taking care of your digestive health may support both your body and your mind.
