Learn about the far-reaching benefits of good digestion, and how to dramatically improve your diet and gut health. A gift bag of gut-friendly goodies included.
You will have heard expressions like ‘gut instinct’, ‘gut feeling’ or ‘gut reaction’, but you may not be quite so in tune with just HOW strong a relationship there is between the health of our gut and our mind. In fact, the core connection between the gut and the brain is a real and mutually beneficial one that involves the nervous system and the trillions (yes, really!) of microbes that live in the gut.
During this insightful masterclass with nutritional therapist Eve Kalinik we will explore some of the foods and factors that help to support this process. This could turn your beliefs of what you thought was all in your head literally on its head, and have you realising that your gut has much more of a say than you think.
As well as receiving a gift bag of goodies, attendees will also be able to buy a copy of Eve’s bestselling book, Be Good to Your Gut, and have it signed on the night.
