Modern Medicine – System Separation
• Separation of systems – teaching / learning
• Diagnosis within systems – labs, diagnostics, scans, x-rays
• Drug specific - system symptoms – antacids, laxatives, antidepressants
• Compartmentalized model of physiology
• Outdated – fails to link body, mind & spirit
• Decreased brain function + digestive issues = impaired gut-brain axis

The Gastrointestinal System – “Gut”
• Most metabolically active organ in the human body
• A long tube of muscle
• Peristaltic waves – digestion motility
• Migrating motor complex – cleaning out the trash
• A long tube of nerves
• Enteric nervous system (ENS) – second brain
• Communication between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract
• Bi-directional gut-brain axis – biochemical signaling – gut/CNS

Vagus Nerve
• 10th Cranial Nerve
• Longest Nerve in the body
• Most complicated cranial nerve
• Historically known as the pneumogastric nerve
• Interfaces with / controls heart, lungs, and digestive tract

Vagus Nerve – Bi-Directional Gut Communication

Vagus Nerve – Bi-Directional Gut Communication

Gut Microbiota
• The microbe population living in our intestine
• Gut - dominated by a diverse array of bacteria
• Bacteria outnumber human cells by 10:1
• Healthy bacteria control hundreds of thousands of disease causing pathogenic bacteria
• Uncontrolled unhealthy bacteria become pathogenic bacteria
![Page 8: THE GUT BRAIN CONNECTION - ANEW COACHING Health... · • Enteric nervous system ... • Communication between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract • Bi-directional gut](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022603/5b5a74f07f8b9a01748bf300/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Healthy Gut Bacteria• Start colonizing at birth
• Acquired during vaginal birth and breast feeding
• Vitamin production - specifically the B vitamins (large intestines)
• Decrease lactose intolerance - enzyme lactase
• Stabilize cholesterol levels
• Defense against food-borne illnesses
• Inhibit Candida yeast - fungal forms of bacteria
![Page 9: THE GUT BRAIN CONNECTION - ANEW COACHING Health... · • Enteric nervous system ... • Communication between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract • Bi-directional gut](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022603/5b5a74f07f8b9a01748bf300/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Healthy Gut Bacteria• Increase in peristalsis normalizing bowel movements
• Maintain good hormonal balance
• Detoxify hazardous chemicals in foods – nitrates
• Control acidity-alkaline levels in the intestines
• Help eliminate bad breath, gas, belching, bloating

Unhealthy Gut Bacteria• Inadequately controlled “unhealthy bacteria” process foods differently
• Convert foods to poisons
• Poisons pass through the gut lining traveling throughout the body, causing disease
• Joints – arthritis
• Brain – mental disorders
• Skin – eczema, rosacea
• Thyroid – Hashimoto’s thyroiditis

Migrating Motor Complex - Mcc• Cleansing wave – moves matter / bacteria from small intestine to colon
• Present only while fasting – occurs every 90 – 120 minutes
• Starts in stomach works to ileum – takes 2 hours – time lapse longer during day than at night
• Peristaltic cycle continues until food is eaten – food in upper digestive tract stops this motion
• MMC & digestive motility mediated by enteric nervous system (ENS)
• Decreased MMC thought to be major factor in IBS / SIBO

Candida Overgrowth• Candida / yeast - well controlled by healthy, beneficial flora
• Not affected by antibiotics – allowed to grow uncontrolled
• Flourish on sugar and processed carbs
• Yeast requires glucose – provided by digestion of carbohydrates
• Glucose & healthy gut ▶ lactic acid, water, energy through glycolysis
• Glucose & unhealthy gut (yeast overgrowth, candida) ▶ alcohol (ethanol) & acetaldehyde – appear drunk without drinking alcohol
• Pass through gut wall into lymph and bloodstream

Primal Connection Between Gut & Brain• “Gut feeling”
• “Gut Instinct”
• “Gut check”
• Brain – gut axis
• Extensive network of neurons – second brain
• Highway of chemicals and hormones – vagus nerve
• Decreased brain function + digestive issues = impaired gut-brain axis
![Page 14: THE GUT BRAIN CONNECTION - ANEW COACHING Health... · • Enteric nervous system ... • Communication between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract • Bi-directional gut](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022603/5b5a74f07f8b9a01748bf300/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Vagus Nerve – Bi-Directional Communication
• Vagus Nerve enables
• “Bi-directional”
• Communication between the brain and peripheral organs
• Sensory Information from organs to brain (red arrows)
• Brain control of motor function of each organ (black arrows)
![Page 15: THE GUT BRAIN CONNECTION - ANEW COACHING Health... · • Enteric nervous system ... • Communication between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract • Bi-directional gut](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022603/5b5a74f07f8b9a01748bf300/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Symptoms Of Impaired Gut-Brain AxisALL
• Neurological Issues – GAPS - Gut and Psychology Syndrome
CHILDREN
• Autism – often late diagnosis
