We have two brains at play. One is our brain and the other is our gut. We call our gut as our second brain. An extensive network of neurons , a highway of chemicals & hormones constantly provide feedback about how hungry we are, whether or not we’re experiencing stress, or if we’ve ingested a disease-causing microbe etc to our brain. This information superhighway is called the brain-gut axis and it provides constant updates on the state of affairs at two ends. No wonder it is called a gut-feel. You literally feel it!
