A Holistic Approach to GI Health Through the Lens of the Psyche, Nervous System, and Gut Microbiome
Gut health is a hot topic right now, and for good reason! So many of us are struggling with IBS, sluggish bowels, and chronic diarrhea or constipation. Is it that our microbiomes are impacted by the pitfalls of the Western food system, or is it chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation? In my practice, I have noticed it is often from both and more, and this is why it can be so challenging to treat.
I have worked with naturopathic doctors from around North America who focus their entire practice on gastrointestinal health. Many of the techniques used are challenging to implement long-term, such as the low FODMAP diet and SIBO treatments. What I have come to understand is that many of these techniques are expensive, take the fun out of eating, and few support the nervous system. Additionally, none of them work with the psyche to identify possible shocks or trauma that may have instigated the gut dysfunction.
If this is something that interests you, please join me for a 2-hour workshop on a holistic approach to Gut Health, where we will navigate how to find the root cause of your IBS and learn methods to work with the microbiome, the nervous system and the psyche.
