The Gut-Brain Axis

The Gut-Brain Axis

The gut and brain are deeply interconnected through neural, hormonal, and immune pathways. Research increasingly shows that the microbiome influences cognition, mood, inflammation, and stress response.

Signals travel bidirectionally between the gastrointestinal system and the central nervous system through what researchers call the gut-brain axis.
