For decades, the appendix was dismissed as a useless organ. Doctors removed it without hesitation, believing it served no real purpose in the human body. But groundbreaking research out of Duke University is now revealing a very different truth. The appendix is far from expendable. It might actually be one of your gut’s most important allies, packed with neural power and immune function that supports both digestion and brain health.
Scientists have found that the appendix contains over 200 million neurons, more than your spinal cord. These neurons are not just sitting idle. They are connected to complex networks that allow the appendix to operate semi-independently and communicate directly with the brain. That’s right: the appendix could function like a second brain in your gut, playing a crucial role in the gut-brain axis.
One of its most vital functions is serving as a safe house for beneficial bacteria. When your body experiences illness, especially something that wipes out your gut flora, the appendix acts as a reservoir to restore microbial balance. It also helps regulate immune responses and supports immune memory. In short, it is an unsung hero in maintaining your internal health ecosystem.
People who’ve had their appendix removed may notice long-term changes in digestion, increased vulnerability to intestinal infections, and even altered stress responses in the gut. This is pushing parts of the medical community to rethink the routine practice of removing the appendix during mild inflammation. Some hospitals now opt for antibiotic treatment when possible, choosing to preserve the organ’s function for long-term wellness.
If you no longer have your appendix, there’s still hope. You can support your gut-brain communication system by improving your microbiome through fermented foods like kimchi and kefir, taking high-quality probiotics, and incorporating nutrients like collagen, zinc, and bone broth to repair and protect your gut lining.
The appendix is not a leftover piece of biology. It’s a guardian of your gut and an essential part of your body’s internal communication network. Science is finally catching up with what the body has known all along.

Important info if you are on a weight loss jab to prevent or reverse hair thinning ...

💉 Weight loss jabs & hair shedding 💉

Lately I have been asked for advice and i have seen a huge rise in people experiencing unexpected hair shedding after starting weight loss jabs like monjaro, semaglutide or tirzepatide.
And no, it’s not the jab itself “killing” your hair — it’s the sudden shift in nutrition, hormones and energy that shocks the follicles.

When your body’s burning through reserves or running low on nutrients, it goes into survival mode, focusing on vital organs first — meaning your hair takes a back seat.
Cue: thinning, shedding, and breakage that appears 2–3 months after the rapid weight drop.

But here’s the good news — it’s completely preventable (and reversible) when you support your body properly.
Here’s how:

🧬 Feed your follicles:
Protein = growth. Hair is 95% keratin, so if your meals are tiny, your hair will be too. Make sure you’re hitting your protein goals daily — shakes, eggs, chicken, tofu, whatever you can keep down.

💊 Don’t skip the nutrients:
Iron, zinc, vitamin D, B-complex, and omega-3s are the backbone of healthy growth. Supplements like Cytoprotect hair, skin and nails from Cytoplan are specifically formulated to replace what’s lost during rapid weight changes — supporting hair growth from the inside out.

🩻 Look at systematic toxicity, supporting gut health is paramount. It has a massive effect on hair. Heavy metal toxicity has a knock on effect to hair loss around hairline. Also a barrier to nutritional absorption is biofilms in the gut. Breaking down biofilms and supporting gut health, help keeps hair strong and healthy.

🫶 Regular stimulation on the hair follicles, rubbing scalp, massage when shampooing hair, Indian head massage and reflexology all get the blood flow moving and loosen up muscles over the scalp so this restores blood flow encouraging healthy hair growth. Red light head massage tools are great for hair loss and regeneration ✨️

💧 Hydrate like it’s your job:
2–3L of water daily helps your follicles receive nutrients efficiently. Dehydration slows everything down — including hair growth.

⚖️ Go slow, stay steady:
Extreme calorie restriction = extreme shedding. Your body needs consistent nourishment to stay in growth mode.

🧘‍♀️ Balance, not burnout:
Stress, lack of sleep, and inflammation can push your hair into the “shedding” phase faster. Treat your body gently while it adjusts. Stress is completely underestimated, the effect on health and hair loss is huge, balancing stress is paramount and making time for self care. When cortisol and adrenaline levels rise they have a detrimental effect on not just our hair but our whole systematic health too.

Hair loss on your wellness journey isn’t inevitable — it’s just a sign your hair needs the same care you’re giving your health.
Support it, feed it, love it ❤️❤️
