Restless gut overexcited brain

Restore your vagus nerve and whole trauma; through nutrition and rest to an optimal brain-gut connection.  

What can you expect from this book? 

Have you ever had butterflies in your stomach? Are you guaranteed to go to the bathroom when you are under a lot of stress? Can you hardly eat when you are really looking forward to something? Does the thought of an unpleasant memory or situation give you a stomach ache? Experiences, memories or thoughts - positive or negative - have an impact on your body.

Our bodies tell us so much, but we often forget to listen. Do you listen to your body's signals and deal with them, or do you continue until your body intervenes on its own? Sometimes people can experience symptoms that cannot be traced to daily life, that cannot be explained, despite your lifestyle habits. Often then we are dealing with conscious or unconscious traumas. For some they are very large and prevalent, for others they may be less noticeable, but 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 that your gut reacts to what is happening in your brain, or vice versa? This is all due to the special connection between our intestines and our brain. Neuroscientists therefore call the gut our second brain. This also explains the strong connection between our mental and physical states. When your intestines are not healthy, you will also feel this in the rest of your body. Not only physically, but also mentally, you want to be comfortable in your skin and function optimally.

In this book, I make these complicated biochemical but magical processes that take place in our bodies understandable and applicable to you. It all starts with knowledge. And when you have this knowledge, you can listen even better to the signals you receive and work with them. I share the latest insights on the connection between your brain and gut. The gut is often called our second brain - and for good reason. For one thing, the gut is the only organ that can function without the brain. Gut health is 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.
