Huberman Lab
Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis

But it's something along the lines that if we are what we eat,

Huberman Lab
Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis

The place where food becomes us and we become food should be the intestine, right?

Huberman Lab
Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis

Because that is where food is actually absorbed, right?

Huberman Lab
Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis

So that is a very fascinating point.

Huberman Lab

Number two is that the food enters us at a frequency that it will modulate the entire body, right?

Huberman Lab
Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis

Therefore, like the body...

Huberman Lab
Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis

through these electricity these electrical waves should be in sync with also the electricity of the entire nervous system so i think that here's where in the future i think that there's going to be a fascinating realm of understanding how it is that these waves of the body and the brain are synchronized with each other because as we know like for instance sometimes um

when we're hungry, we become hungry, you know, like we become irritated by the fact that we don't have food and perhaps it's this dissonance in the emanation of the electrical waves between the digestive tract and the nervous system.

Huberman Lab
Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis

So I think that that is just like one of the realms of how it is that the brain is connected to the gut at a more...

Huberman Lab
Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis

organ to organ level to be able to make us function ultimately, right?

Huberman Lab
Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis

Because that's how we are integrating the outside world, the food, into our entire system so we can maintain the entire organism.

Huberman Lab
Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis

A few interesting things in that area.

I mean, the work of Carl Jung talks about it, about the subconscious and how it is that we're accumulating all of these experiences that we have been passing through in life.

Huberman Lab
Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis

It's not that they are not a story anymore.

Huberman Lab
Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis

It's just that they are back in the subconscious, right?

Huberman Lab
Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis

And then ultimately they become part of this so-called intuition, right?

Huberman Lab
Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis

Like we have this gut feeling that... And...

Huberman Lab
Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis

If we analyze some of the languages, I think that in the past, people have told me in so many different languages that there is this phrase for gut feelings in so many.

Huberman Lab

Like, for instance, I think in Portuguese, it's frio de barriga, you know, like cold in the stomach.

Huberman Lab
Dr. Diego Bohórquez: The Science of Your Gut Sense & the Gut-Brain Axis

You get a cold.
