“Your gut tells you so much, take care of it.” Most people think the gut’s only job is digestion. But did you know your gut is actually one of the most complex, influential systems in your body? Did you know… • Over 90% of your serotonin (the “feel-good” hormone) is produced in your gut—not your brain. • Your gut has its own nervous system—the enteric nervous system—sometimes called the “second brain.” It communicates directly with your brain via the gut-brain axis. • Your gut is home to over 100 trillion microbes that influence everything from your immune system to your mood, skin, energy, metabolism, and even how you respond to stress. • Imbalances in your gut can lead to hormonal chaos—including estrogen dominance, PMS, thyroid dysfunction, perimenopausal symptoms, and even fertility issues. • The gut plays a key role in detoxification and breaking down excess hormones, which is critical for hormone balance. • It’s also responsible for converting inactive thyroid hormone (T4) into its active form (T3), directly influencing your metabolism and energy levels. So when we talk about ‘healing from the inside out,’ it’s not just a wellness cliché—it’s real. If your gut is off, everything is off. Skin issues, brain fog, anxiety, bloating, fatigue, and stubborn weight gain are all clues your gut is trying to tell you something. Take care of it—nourish it with fiber, fermented foods, the right supplements, stress management, sleep, and a little daily gratitude. Your gut is not just the center of your body—it’s the center of your well-being. 🚨 who takes care of their gut like their life depends on it ? #TheHealthydoc #DrNigma #GutHormoneSkinConnection #InsideOutHealing #GutHealthAwareness #HormoneBalance #askdrnigma #drnigmatalib #gutising #guthealth #qotd
