How does then this whole gut process affect your mood or your immunity and your general well-being?

The gut is definitely the second brain.

It contains a whole lot of nerves and immune cells which will directly communicate with the rest of the body.

And if you have, let's say, a pro-inflammatory diet, a diet that might be high in sugar and bad fats and your blood sugar is always completely dysregulated, that is going to drive an inflammatory process which will likely start in the gut.

And once you've got that inflammatory process going in the gut, it is going to squeeze out into the rest of your body.

We're so used to separating organ systems.

There's your brain, there's your gut, there's your endocrine system.

In the morning? Afternoon? Well, you know, whenever it works.
