• How our gut health can affect our overall health and wellbeing
• The role our gut health has in our immune system, managing inflammation and in producing neurotransmitters
• The function of the vagus nerve and why it's important
• What is the gut/brain connection, why it's important and how our gut communicates with our brain
• Psychobiotics and how new studies are exploring the ways gut microbiome and the types of neurotransmitters they produce could have a role in supporting some types of therapy for people with mood disorders
• What can challenge our gut health: our lifestyles, quality in our soil, overuse in medications - antibiotics and anti-inflammatories - stress, digital stimulation switching our minds on constantly, sleep etc.
• How you can use your daily 'movements' and no.2's to check-in on your gut health
• Way's to support your gut health for a happy gut, happy mind.
