The gut-brain connection & your microbiome

Let me introduce you to your microbiome>

Your gut microbiome is a complex and unique community of microorganisms, chemicals and hormones that has broad impacts:

• Plays a role in systemic immune regulation
• Can influence your mood and overall mental health
• Alerts your ‘fight or flight’ response
• Impacts how you digest your food and nourish your body

In collaboration, we can create menus and an ingredient guide for your family meals. The physical and emotional benefit of sitting down to eat with others is well-documented and known to lower stress, make better food choices, foster connection and improve your digestion and sense of joy.
