Is it just the chemicals in our brains? Like I’m pretty sure guts don’t have that system.

Your brain is actually all the neurons in your body, which goes actually goes down into your gut and may actually include your entire nervous system.

That being said, I’m not sure anybody has a way to explain feelings with 100% accuracy. We know that chemical response occurs in stressful situations, extra of those chemicals can make us react a certain way, that the gut biome might play a role. And that the gut subconscious feeling is something to be trusted (usually).
