The gut-brain axis is a vast communication network that refers to the over 100 million nerve cells that line our gastrointestinal tract and is often referred to as the “second brain.”

This second brain of yours can be affected by many things, including your environment, what we eat, antibiotics, and more. Basically, if it's bad for your gut, it's probably bad for your brain. A bad diet, stress, antibiotics, gluten, genetics, glyphosate and other environmental toxin exposure can all negatively affect the health of the gut and, by proxy, affect the ability of the gut-brain axis to function properly–which means a whole host of things are at risk of not functioning properly as well.

So if you're wondering how you can better protect your gut-brain axis in knowing what to avoid, what to eat, and how to support these 100 million nerve cells that line your gut microbiome try #Gutbiome6
