In this session, we will focus on the gut-brain connection and its impact on mental and emotional health. Anxiety, ADHD, depression, OCD, and a variety of other mental health concerns can all be improved by supporting gut health. Learn about the impacts of the gut microbiome, leaky gut, food allergies and intolerances, and the role of the vagus nerve.
We will explore how your dietary choices impact your nervous system (and vice versa!), how the ever-growing research on the gut biome has contributed to our understanding of the vagus nerve as a "bacteria superhighway" that sends information to and from the gut and the brain, and how hidden food allergies or intolerances can lead to neuro-inflammation.
Come prepared with a detailed 7-day "diet and mood diary" that recalls everything you ate and how you felt afterward.
