Stop Guessing and Start Understanding Your Gut
Gut Health 101 is designed for adults over 40 who want a practical introduction to digestion and the microbiome without extreme diets or complicated protocols.
During the workshop, you’ll learn how everyday habits may support or disrupt digestive wellness. We’ll discuss food, fiber, plant variety, stress, movement, and the gut-brain connection.
The goal is to help you better understand your body and identify one or two realistic changes you can begin making.
Could your daily habits be affecting your gut?
Always Stressed
Chronic stress can influence digestion, appetite, intestinal movement, and the
gut-brain connection.
