Limitless: Biohacking Brainpower, Health, Personal Growth & Beyond The Gut-Brain Connection Is Weirder Than You Think: Biohacking the second mind, personality architecting & brain as "PR Department" 🎙️ Interview with Gabe Dough of Good Bru
The gut-brain connection is deeper, weirder, and far more literal than we ever imagined. For years, we’ve been told that our 'gut feeling' is just a metaphor for intuition. But recent science suggests that your gut is actually a 'second brain'—a complex neural network of 100 million neurons that can operate entirely on its own, independent of the one in your skull.
We aren't just talking about digestion; we’re talking about a bidirectional superhighway where bacteria in your colon produce up to 90% of your body’s serotonin and significantly influence your levels of GABA, the primary neurotransmitter for calm. Essentially, the 'critters' in your gut might be the master puppeteers of your mood, your sleep, and even your cognitive clarity.
But as the market for 'gut health' explodes, the gap between marketing claims and clinical reality is widening. I interview Gabe Dough, the founder of Good Bru. His product bridges that gap using a specific combination of prebiotics and a resilient probiotic strain known as BC30, which I've been using.
