Never discredit your gut instinct. You are not paranoid. Your body can pick up on bad vibrations. If something deep inside of you says something is not right about a person or situation, trust it.

Apparently some scientists have nicknamed our gut (enteric nervous system) the “second brain.” Our gut contains one hundred million neurons, which is more than either the spinal cord or peripheral nervous system. Michael Gershman, author of “The Second Brain” explains that “a big part of our emotions are probably influenced by the nerves in our gut.” Apparently 95 % of the body’s serotonin is found in the bowels and may have a role to play in certain diseases. The blossoming field of neurogastroenterology will likely offer some new insights into the workings of the second brain. Interesting stuff.
