What can you expect from this book?
Have you ever had butterflies in your stomach? Do you always need the toilet when you are under a lot of stress? Can you barely eat when you are looking forward to something? Do you get a stomach ache just from the thought of a painful memory or situation? Experiences, memories, or thoughts—positive or negative—have an impact on your body. Our body tells us so much, but we often forget to listen. Do you listen to your body's signals and take action, or do you keep going until your body forces you to stop? Sometimes people experience symptoms that cannot be traced back to daily life, that cannot be explained, despite your lifestyle habits. Often, we are dealing with conscious or unconscious traumas. For some, they are very large and overwhelming; for others, they may be less noticeable but still unconsciously present in our system. We store trauma and stress in our bodies. It affects our entire system, from bacteria to neurotransmitters, from mitochondria to the vagus nerve.
Have you ever experienced your gut reacting to what is happening in your brain, or vice versa? This is all due to the unique connection between our gut and our brain. Neuroscientists therefore call the gut our second brain. This also explains the strong connection between our mental and physical state. When your gut is not healthy, you will feel it in the rest of your body as well. You want to feel comfortable in your skin and function optimally, not just physically, but also mentally.
In this book, I make these complex biochemical, yet magical processes that take place in our body, understandable and applicable for you. It all starts with knowledge. And once you have this knowledge, you can listen even better to the signals you receive and take action accordingly. I share the latest insights into the connection between your brain and gut. The gut is often called our second brain—and for good reason. For instance, the gut is the only organ that can function without the brain. Gut feelings are inextricably linked to mental health.
I share the latest, most fascinating insights with practical applications that can help you grow, develop, be healthy, and feel happy. Everything is covered: nutrients, neurotransmitters, emotions, and energy to ensure an optimal brain-gut connection.
