Gut Health: The Enteric Nervous System
Gut health has become a major topic in wellness, and for good reason. Central to this concept is the enteric nervous system (ENS), known as the body’s "second brain," which resides in the gastrointestinal lining and manages digestive functions. This system communicates with the brain through the vagus nerve, highlighting their crucial connection. Recent research shows that an imbalanced gut can lead to widespread inflammation affecting both physical and mental health, including conditions like depression and anxiety. Optimizing gut function through diet, stress management, and lifestyle changes can enhance overall well-being, boost energy, and improve mental clarity. Embracing a holistic approach to gut health is essential for a healthier, more vibrant life.
