Gut Feeling
Over recent years, ‘going with your gut instinct’ has been transformed from folklore to science. Researchers now widely accept that your gut and brain have regular chats through the gut-brain axis, with wide-reaching physical and mental effects. But could this mind/gut connection also be partly responsible for what defines you as a person – impacting everything from personality traits to how good you feel – and even predict your chances of developing conditions such as anxiety, depression and obesity?
