Ever had “butterflies in your stomach”? Or noticed how stress can throw your digestion off? That’s your gut and brain talking.
Your gut is more than a digestion hub — it’s a second brain, connected to your mood, memory, immune system, and long-term brain health. Through the vagus nerve, the enteric nervous system, and your microbiome, your gut and brain are in constant conversation.
When that connection is strong, you feel focused, resilient, and energized. When it’s disrupted, it can show up as brain fog, anxiety, poor sleep, cravings, inflammation, or even early warning signs of neurodegenerative disease.
In this 120-minute class + Q&A, you’ll learn how to support this vital gut–brain axis, so both brains can work together to keep you balanced, calm, and well. We’ll cover the science, the simple strategies, and the everyday choices that strengthen your gut and protect your mind.
Key Goals:
🔹 Understand the structural and chemical connections between gut and brain
🔹 Learn how your microbiome influences mood, sleep, cravings, and focus
🔹 Explore the impact of stress, trauma, and inflammation on gut–brain health
