Book Club! GUT (session 3 of 3)

We will discuss section 4, and the book as a whole.

We're reading GUT by Giulia Enders. It's the most fun and engaging book you could fathom about how your gut works. Most people have heard a lot about how critical a healthy gut is, but many of us don't know enough about the gut to care for it very well. This is one of the most recommended books on gut health. It's a light, fun read. Chosen, in part, to correlate with our Gut 101 Educational Forum coming up in August or September.

Here's the link to purchase: GUT on Amazon

This is session 3 of 3.

Mind-Body Medicine Moment

Need a break from all of it? Join us for a moment of ease.

Mind-Body Medicine helps us move through difficult emotions, disconnect from stress, and nurture the body's capacity to restore itself (repair damage, digest food, lose weight, build muscle, orgasm, sleep well, learn well, detoxify, and so much more!).

We'll use one or two techniques in each session to relax and restore body and mind. Effective practices to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system (our body's gear for relaxation and repair) are essential for health and well-being. For some people, this skill set is underdeveloped. For other people, the skills are known, but we are not great at finding the time to use them. Whichever camp you're in, join us for simple, restorative practices to support your physical and psychological wellbeing. All experience levels and physical abilities are welcome. Space ADA compliant.

We'll begin with a brief introduction of the skill, then experience the exercise, and then have the opportunity to share about it.

Educational Forum: Gut Health 101

If you're really into this topic, it's not too late to finish the book GUT with our book club! It's way more fun than you would think. :)

Gut health is a popular topic in mainstream wellness media, but often, there are more questions and confusion than straightforward information that empowers us to build health. Let's get clear on the basics of how the gut works and things to keep in mind in caring for gut. We can also think about what we might be struggling with individually that might be rooted in our gut health.
