Maximise Your Three Brains: The Head, Heart, and Gut

You already know you have a brain in your head. But did you know your gut and heart are also classified as brains?

Each of these three brains, the head brain (cephalic), gut-brain (enteric), and heart brain (cardiac), contains neurons, neurotransmitters, and the ability to store and process information. They guide thoughts, emotions, instincts, and decisions. If one is out of balance, your entire system suffers.

The Head Brain: Logic and Creativity

• Responsible for cognition, memory, and problem-solving

• Helps us process information and make sense of the world

• Fuels creativity and innovation

The Gut-Brain: Instinct and Courage

• The root of gut feelings and intuitive decision-making

• Linked to courage and sense of self

• Plays a major role in emotional regulation

The Heart Brain: Emotions and Connection

• Processes love, empathy, passion, and joy

• Drives values and relationships

• Helps create emotional intelligence

Are Your Three Brains Disconnected?

Many people, especially in corporate settings, shut off their gut and heart brains, relying only on logic. This disconnect can lead to stress, burnout, lack of motivation, and poor decision-making.

How to Use All Three Brains

When faced with big decisions, don’t just think. Feel and trust your instincts too. Connecting your three brains allows for balanced decision-making and better emotional well-being.

Rewire your system, embrace change, and tap into your full intelligence. Your three brains are your greatest superpower.
