That gut feeling—we’ve all felt that whisper from the belly.
“I couldn’t help but wonder… Was my gut smarter than my heart?”
It always starts in the gut.
Before the breakup.
Before the deal falls through.
Before you text the ex who absolutely does not deserve a midnight emoji.
That little flutter. The tight twist. The inner “Don’t do it, sweetie” that no one else can hear.
But I couldn’t help but wonder…
What if our gut isn’t just a place for brunch mimosas and breakup bloat—what if it’s running the show?
Is Your Gut the Original Life Coach?
Science says, yes. In fact, your gut has its own nervous system (yes, actual neurons), lovingly nicknamed the “second brain.”
Darling, that’s not a metaphor. That’s microbiome-backed truth.
This “second brain”—a.k.a. your enteric nervous system—is constantly texting your upstairs brain through a red-hot gossip line called the gut-brain axis. And spoiler: 90% of the messages travel from the gut up, not the other way around.
Translation? That gut feeling you had before ghosting that Hinge date?
Yeah… your belly probably knew before your brain did.
Bacteria, Brains & Breakups
Inside that Channel of the digestive system lives your microbiome—a glam little ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes working overtime to keep you:
- Digging into digestion
- Glowing in the mirror
- Slaying your mood
- And yes—making serotonin and dopamine, aka your feel-good, keep-you-from-crying-on-the-subway chemicals.
So when you’re foggy, weepy, bloated, or craving pasta like it’s a love language… it might not be heartbreak. It might be your gut waving a red flag in Louboutin.
Listen to Your Gut Feeling, Love, and Feed It Right
So how do we treat our gut like the VIP it is?
- Feed it like a goddess. Whole foods = bacteria’s favorite dinner date.
- Ditch the toxic foods. Ultra-processed junk? Your gut deserves better.
- Stop ghosting your fiber. She’s the real MVP.
- Stress less. Your gut doesn’t do drama—it feels it.
In the End…
We used to think the brain was the boss.
However, science (and maybe your last situationship) proves otherwise.
Your gut knows the truth before your lips say yes. Before your heart catches up. Before your brain even notices.
So next time you feel that twist of uncertainty or spark of clarity in your belly, don’t ignore it.
Listen. Nourish. Trust.
Because your gut might just be the one who really knows what’s good for you.
“The gut doesn’t lie. And honestly? Neither should you—to yourself.”
— Carrie (and probably your microbiome)
