Understanding the Mutual Influence of Gut and Mental Health – and Paths to Restore Balance
About this Event

Digestive distress and anxiety often create a frustrating cycle—each one amplifying the other. But what if the key to relief lies not in restriction, but in understanding the deep connection between your gut and your brain? Join Elyce Shapiro, MS, CNS, LDN, licensed dietitian nutritionist and gut health specialist, for an illuminating workshop that explores how stress, trauma, and overly restrictive diets can disrupt digestive balance and emotional well-being.

You'll learn how to restore harmony through food diversity, mindful nourishment, and nervous system support. Elyce will share evidence-based insights on when common gut health strategies like probiotics or added fiber can help—or harm—and how lifestyle factors like sleep, movement, and compassion play essential roles in healing. This interactive session invites participants to rethink gut care through the lens of connection, food freedom, and long-term resilience.

Menu: TBD

1.5 CE's are available for therapy and nutrition providers.
