The human body is an incredibly complex system, and since time immemorial man has struggled to work out what exactly his gut and his brain have to do with his health, and whether perhaps the two are connected somehow. Today we know that the parallels between the gut and brain immune systems are too self-evident to deny. These ximilarities extend to the actual structures, mechanisms and even biochemistries of the two systems: the gut immune barrier and the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Bidirectional signaling between the brain and gut has been confirmed by numerous studies. In fact, this communication between the gut and brain is ongoing from birth, and plays a significant role in shaping how the brain is wired. The gut’s influence on the brain cannot be overestimated, so much so that it can be called a second brain. Studies have linked gut microbiota dysbiosis to brain-linked disorders such as depression, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, autism, and autoimmune disorders. Read more on the newsletter.
