Your life is going to change in two big ways.
First, you're going to stop thinking about your gut as a digestive organ.
You're going to start thinking about your gut as a brain because that's what it is.
Your gut is a brain.
It has more nerve cells than the entirety of your spinal cord.
It is creating all the same neurotransmitters like dopamine, like serotonin, and it is constantly sending signals up to the brain in your head through this information superhighway called the vagus nerve.
And also, so many of the diseases that we're most afraid of, from certain cancers to Parkinson's disease, these can all start in the gut.
Once you realize that, everything changes because then you can realize you can change your health not 10 years from now, but today.
You can start to take control of your health through your gut, and that gives you real control.
The second thing that's going to change for you is that you're going to realize this whole time your symptoms were never all in your head.
All of those GI symptoms, the bloating, the trouble with digestion, the going to the bathroom, none of that was ever just stress.
And I think the reason that so many people for so long haven't been believed is because some people aren't as familiar with all of the data and all of the research that I'm going to share with you today.
And once you have that knowledge and that validation, it's going to give you power back and agency to get the help that you need.
Yeah.
Let me bring out this model here.
Let's walk through it.
Yeah.
And first thing I'm going to do is actually I'm going to take the lungs out.
I'm going to take the heart out just so we can see a little better.
I promise you I'm not that heartless.
