About the e-Class

The gut-brain axis is a system composed of the brain and the gut in the human body. The two communicate with each other in the form of hormonal and neural messages that together regulate our emotional responses, metabolism, immune system, and brain development and health. Brain diseases serve as an alarming signal that the ecosystem in our body is collapsing, and any health plan that doesn't take into account the gut microbiota will only take you further and further away from optimal health.
