Both are created from the same tissue during fetal development, and they're connected via your vagus nerve, the tenth cranialnerve that runs from your brain stem to your abdomen.It is now well established that the vagus nerve is the primary route your gut bacteria use to transmit information to your brain, which helps explain why mental health appears to so intricately connected to your gut microbiome1 — the bacteria and other microbes living in your gut." - Dr. MercolaRead more about Processed Food & Depression, here!Robin Perry Braun talks about "Ghosting" and how to deal with it in our modern society."The opposite of love isn’t hate; it is indifference. Ghosting, for those of you who haven’t yet experienced it, is having someone that you believe cares about you, whether it be a friend or someone you are dating, disappear from contact without any explanation at all.
