The gut was once viewed primarily as a digestive organ. Research has fundamentally expanded that view. Communication among the intestinal microbiome, nervous system, immune system, metabolism, and brain has established the microbiota–gut–brain axis as an important area of modern biological research.

This interconnected biology is one reason The Standardized Science of Personalized Wellness includes the Gut–Brain Interface as one component of its broader systems framework. What occurs in one biological system can influence functions far beyond its traditional boundaries.

The body is not a collection of isolated organs. It is a communication network.
