Gut Command

Meaning

Gut Command is a conceptual term describing the profound and often overriding regulatory influence of the gastrointestinal system and its resident microbiota on systemic health, particularly the endocrine and central nervous systems. The gut command encompasses the complex bidirectional communication of the Gut-Brain Axis, where microbial metabolites, neurotransmitters, and inflammatory signals originating in the digestive tract dictate mood, immune response, and hormonal metabolism. A healthy gut command is characterized by microbial diversity and epithelial integrity, ensuring optimal nutrient absorption and minimal systemic inflammation.
