Is My Gut Really My "Second Brain"?
Is My Gut Really My "Second Brain"?
Your gut houses 400–600 million neurons and sends 80–90% of its signals up to the brain — not the other way around.

Plus: practical strategies to calm your nervous system and support your microbiome at the same time.
Can Exercise and Sleep Affect My Gut?
Can Exercise and Sleep Affect My Gut?
A daily walk can improve gut motility, and aerobically fit people tend to have more diverse microbiomes — the gut-exercise connection is real.
