Your Gut: The Beginning of Healing
When your gut is balanced, your body can function at its best. But when it’s out of sync, it can disrupt everything…
What your gut actually runs
The gut is where a large share of your immune system lives and where most of your neurotransmitters are made. It produces the majority of your serotonin and much of your dopamine, which is why gut trouble so often shows up as anxiety, low mood, and brain fog rather than as a stomachache.
The signaling mostly runs upward, from gut to brain, more than the other way around. So when the gut barrier is damaged or the microbiome is off, the effects reach well beyond digestion. Repairing the gut is usually where real recovery starts.
