The super nerve - the connection between your brain and gut

What to know

Lecture on the connection between the nervous system, intestines and diet with clinical nutritionist Tine Jørgensen and cookbook author Simon Weisdorf Why do we get butterflies in our stomachs when we're stressed? Why can a stressful period trigger stomach pain, bloating, or changes in toilet habits? And why do so many people find that their digestion never fully settles down, even though they do "everything right"? The answer is often found in the close connection between the brain and the gut. A connection that shows that digestive problems, stress and anxiety are more closely related than most people think. At the heart of this connection we find the vagus nerve - a super nerve that is the body's most important communication pathway between the brain and the gut. In this lecture, clinical nutrition expert, Tine Jørgensen, takes you into the fascinating world between the nervous system and digestion. - Date: 25 November 2026 - Time: 09:15–10:45 - Venue: Suhrs Højskole - Address: Pustervig 8, Copenhagen K, Denmark - Admission: Free
