Functional Medicine Worksop
How Gut Health Impacts Your Mind and Body
Your gut isn’t just about digestion — it’s deeply connected to your brain, your nervous system, your immune system, and your overall wellbeing. The exciting part? You have the power to heal and restore it through simple, everyday choices.
Inside your gut live trillions of tiny microorganisms — your gut microbiome. These microbes play a vital role in digestion, immunity, and overall health. They even produce chemicals that influence brain function, mood, and behavior. When your gut is balanced, you feel clearer, lighter, and more energized. But when it’s out of balance, it can show up not only as bloating, gas, or indigestion — but also as brain fog, fatigue, mood changes, achy joints, and poor sleep.
Join us to learn how a healthy gut can improve digestion and brain function, uplift your mood, strengthen immunity, and help you feel more vibrant.
