Gut - Brain Connection
Hello Love,
Do you walk into a room and forget what you went in there for?
Do you think of something important to say to your partner — and the moment you walk up to them, your mind goes blank?
You’re not losing it. That’s one sign of many that it’s time for a cleanse.
Brain fog is a signal that inflammation is building up in your body. And where does a lot of that inflammation start?
In your gut. When the balance of bacteria in your gut is off, it sends signals to your brain that slow everything down — your thinking, your memory, your focus.
When our minds are sluggish, our digestion is sluggish too. They’re connected — more than most people realize.
Each time I do a cleanse, my mind works better. Sharper. Clearer. And the science backs up why.
How the Gut Talks to the Brain
Your gut and your brain are constantly talking to each other. In fact, scientists now call the gut our “second brain.”
Here’s why that matters: 90% of your body’s serotonin — the chemical that helps you feel happy and calm — is made in your gut. Not your brain. Your gut.
When your gut is healthy and has a good mix of bacteria, your brain works better. Studies show that people with more diverse gut bacteria score higher on thinking and memory tests.
But when the bad bacteria take over, things go sideways. This imbalance is called gut dysbiosis, and it’s linked to brain fog, low mood, anxiety, and trouble handling stress.
Researchers are even finding connections between poor gut health and Alzheimer’s disease.
The good news? What you eat and how you take care of your digestion directly affects this balance. When you clean up your gut, your brain gets clearer too.
This is exactly why we cleanse.
We give our digestion the reset it needs so our whole system — brain included — can work the way it’s meant to.
The Sacred Seasonal Cleanse starts soon, and registration closes Tuesday, April 14.
If your brain has been foggy, your digestion has been off, or you just know your body is ready for a reset — this is your sign.
With health,
