Gut-Brain Connection

Recent research has revealed a strong link between the health of the intestinal tract and the brain. The “gut brain” or enteric nervous system (ENS) extends from the esophagus to the rectum. It contains the same receptors, neurons, and neurotransmitters that the central nervous system (CNS) does. The ENS releases neurotransmitters into the blood that travel to the brain and affect brain function. These chemical messengers, such as ghrelin, act in synergy with the vagus nerve to regulate food intake and appetite. They also help to regulate mood.

The brain regulates digestion, which is why worry, stress, and thought processes affect digestion. But, the digestive system, including the gut microbes, also affects the brain and can cause brain fog, anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. So, in this Sunshine Sharing Hour, we'll discuss the link between our gut brain and our regular brain and how we can regulate the gut-brain connection to improve digestion, enhance brain function, and regulate mood.
