Mind-Gut Connection
In functional medicine our gut is our second brain as we have millions of nuerons that live here that send signals to our brain. When the gut health is out of balance we can have many symptoms including: depression, anxiety, mood disorders, fatigue, brain fog, ibs, pain, inflammation and more. With a combination of testing, natural health supplements and health coaching by an alternative medicine practitioner we can improve this dramatically.

Mind-Gut Connection Treatments
Transform Your Mind-Gut Connection Holistically
The relationship between the gut and brain is a profound one. It has become well known and researched in recent years. The digestive system is the engine of the body and when it is out of balance the whole body can be off. Similarly a car engine that is well fed and maintained, will perform well. When our "internal engine" is fine tuned and functional our whole body functions better!
When there is disharmony in our "internal engine" we can suffer from symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, moodiness, inflammation, memory issues, poor sleep, gut issues and more. These are symptoms of Adrenal Stress and poor digestion.
