Your gut as a second brain. Prof. Dr. Heiko De Schepper (UZA)

Did you know that there are as many nerve cells in your gut as in your brain? It is not for nothing that the digestive system is also called “the little brain.” Your gut and brain are constantly connected and influence each other more than you think. Sometimes that causes butterflies in your stomach, but disrupted communication can also lead to complaints such as abdominal pain, bloating, or irritable bowel syndrome. During this fascinating evening discussion, you will discover how the digestive system works, what the “gut-brain axis” exactly entails, and what role stress, emotions, and nutrition play in intestinal complaints.
