Yep, gut-liver-brain axis is a thing and people definitely don't know enough about it. Including myself.

I've been reading a lot about Buddhism and it does seem like people understood the connection between gut and mind before, just not in the scientific manner we understand it now.

Also, being a teacher of little kids, if a kid is having a tough time emotionally, my reflex reaction is to ask if they ate breakfast. I whip out a little snack and 99 percente of the time they feel better.

I know emotions are connected to our bellies but I've not thought about mental illness being so connected.
