In this informative session, we’ll explore the powerful connection between cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone, and gut health. Learn how chronic stress can disrupt digestive function, alter gut microbiota, and contribute to the buildup of toxins in the body. We’ll also discuss practical strategies for managing stress to promote a healthier gut and overall well-being. Join us for a deeper look at how the brain-gut connection shapes our health and discover ways to support your digestive system through mindful lifestyle choices.
