Where does digestion begin? Before the first bite, your brain is already helping prepare the body for food. This illustrated introduction follows a meal through the stomach and small intestine, explaining how movement, stomach acid, pancreatic enzymes, bile, and the gut lining work together to break down food and absorb nutrients.
Written in everyday language, The Journey of a Meal gives you a clear starting map for the Gut and Brain Health series. It also explains why a symptom alone cannot reveal which step of digestion needs attention.
