The microbiome is an ecosystem made up of trillions of microbes living in your intestines, which have a profound impact on your health. Join world-renowned gastroenterologist and neuroscientist Dr. Emeran Mayer in learning about the microbiome, how it develops throughout life, what makes a healthy microbiome, and what diseases are associated with an unhealthy one.
Studies show that chronic stress and negative emotions affect the gut and its microbiome, just as an unhealthy gut contributes to mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. Dr. Drew Ramsey, a nutritional psychiatrist, brings in cutting-edge knowledge and actionable tips on how to improve brain cell health and growth, reduce inflammation, and cultivate a healthy microbiome with nutrition. His work addresses the modern brain and reveals ways to build mental fitness and optimize brain-gut microbiome interactions.
As part of the weekend, somatic practitioner Melissa Romano brings in science-based exercises to activate and tone the vagus nerve, which plays a crucial part in the regulation of gut-brain interactions. These activities help regulate the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and enhance gut health, ultimately supporting overall mental and physical well-being.
Studies show that by stimulating the vagus nerve, you can experience improved digestion, reduced stress, and greater resilience in both body and mind. Join us for this educational and experiential microbiome weekend.
