The Gut-Brain axis is a complex two-way communication system between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract, where signals are sent back and forth through nerves, hormones, and immune cells. Essentially allowing the gut to influence mood, cognition, and mental health. While the brain can impact digestion and gut function, this connection is primarily facilitated by the vagus nerve, which acts as a key pathway for information transfers between the two systems. Learn more about how your digestive system can impact mental health, and vice versa. We will also learn more about additional gut microbiome testing that helps to find the root cause of disease.
