Gut2Health

Upcoming event!
Calling all ladies…. Friday April 4 7:30-9 pm myself and Paula will be gathering to talk about peri menopause and menopause and the role our gut microbiome can play in this phase of life. Food choices, healthy habits can alleviate symptoms. Come on out for connection and conversation. Snacks and tea will be provided with some recipe takeaways for you to try at home. Please rsvp to me: [email protected].

The gut and brain are inextricably interconnected. While we absolutely need to raise awareness and talk more about youth mental health - we should also talk about solutions. This isn’t a hopeless situation. There are SO many reasons to believe there is HOPE and that each of us can make a difference. Simple, safe strategies like: sleep, choose healthy food more often, spend more time outside, exercise, reduce screen time … all of these can add up and improve health and mental well-being. There are many ways to influence gut health and doing so will improve brain health as well.

Better Brownies!!! Made by grade 7 students, “Ligma” and “Sigma” ( you know who you are). They put their own creativity into this healthier brownie recipe by adding strawberries to the batter and carefully placing banana bits on top. I love learning from the kids I’m supposed to be teaching nutrition/ cooking elective.

Experts have found that our gut health affects our brain in multiple ways, including mental health. Healing our gut can have profound effects on our mental health!

Try adding chlorophyll to drinks, or use it as a natural food dye! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Try incorporating chlorophyll into everyday drinks/foods for health benefits.

Happy Pi(e) Day!!

Sleep and gut health are heavily connected. Without sleep, our gut microbiome is compromised. With a poor gut microbiome, our sleep is negatively affected. Research shows that the brain and gut connection affects sleep regulation and behaviour (PubMed).
