Addressing physical and mental health holistically.

Have you ever been told that your anxiety, depression and brain fog are just in your head? Well - it turns out - these things may actually be in your gut, as well.

We are exceedingly complex beings composed of an astonishingly diverse and interconnected ecology of both human and non-human cells. When these elements are in balance, optimal health is the result. However, when dysfunction occurs in one system it has a cascading effect that is reflected in every other system in the body. Nowhere else is the holographic reality of holistic health more elegantly illustrated than in the microbiome-gut-brain connection. 

The gut and the brain are in constant communication and this bi-directional dialogue is directly influenced by the vast microbial populations that reside in our gastrointestinal tract. This dynamic interaction impacts not only the process of digestion but also how we feel, think, react and relate to the world around us. Disruption in this crosstalk has been associated with many common disorders, from obesity and IBS to anxiety and depression. Science is beginning to reveal that what happens in the gut does not stay in the gut.
