The Microbiome and the Brain

UCLA and the UCSF have recently shown this exquisite direct connection between the microbiome that is in and around your body and your brain. There's a series of cells that are called the enteric endocrine cells. These represent 10 to 15% of all of the cells that make up your gut lining. Between your kidneys and your gut you make 90% of your dopamine, your gut alone makes 90% ofyour serotonin.
