This pathway allows for constant communication between the nearly 100 billion neurons in each system and accounts for the transmission of messages that influence our physical, mental, and emotional health.

Come and discover:

  • Why the gut is referred to as our second brain and its role in the immune system
  • Symptoms of an unhealthy gut and the best ways to keep it healthy
  • How to determine if you need prebiotics or probiotics
  • Why fat in the diet is important and which fats are essential
  • Natural supplements or herbs that can aid in keeping the gut healthy
  • The role stress plays in gut health and immune health
