Listen "Interlude XII - The Gut-Brain Axis: Microbiome as Mind"
Episode Synopsis
What if intuition… digestion… and belief were all part of the same conversation?
In this interlude, Dr. Juan Carlos Rey explores the growing science of the gut-brain axis - where trillions of microbes whisper through the vagus nerve to shape emotion, cognition, and even moral intuition.
Drawing on research from Emeran Mayer, Sarkis Mazmanian, John Cryan, and Ted Dinan, this journey reveals a hidden ecology of consciousness - where neurotransmitters, bacteria, and the human nervous system collaborate to compose what we call self.
Here, the Observable Unknown is not distant or abstract - it’s inside you.
Alive, responsive, and evolving.
