2018-05-24 12:00:00 2018-05-24 13:30:00 America/Vancouver Gut Feelings: How Your Gut Health Impacts Your Emotional Wellbeing Gut Feelings: How Your Gut Health Impacts Your Emotional Wellbeing  Your mother was right: You are what you eat. From your ability to concentrate on work to your energy to go out and have fun on the weekends to your own emotional stability, everything that your brain does is dependent on your diet and your gut health. When you’re managing your gut health well, you’ll find yourself emotionally stable, confident, motivated, and loving life. But when you’re not? Get ready for the roller coaster ride of a lifetime. The ancient Greek philosophers (specifically Aristotle and Galen) thought that the heart was the centre of emotion. But they were wrong. As it turns out, it was the ancient Hebrews who had the right idea - if there is an organ outside of the brain that governs your emotions, it’s your gut. Yes, emotion is a brain function, but thanks to recent research, we know that the gut-brain connection is a tight and intricate one, so much so that Scientific American even went so far as to call the gut our “second brain.” In this workshop, we’ll do a “gut check” on our diets and emotional health and start looking at ways to improve our moods through better diet. We’ll talk about the role of the enteric nervous system in mental health, and even discuss some practical steps you can take to start improving your gut and emotional well-being in tandem. What We’ll Cover What emotional well-being looks like - and how it can improve your life The gut-brain connection and how your enteric nervous system influences your mental health How to use bacteria to improve your gut health - and how to combine prebiotic and probiotic foods the right way Fat is phat: why you need a certain amount of fat in your diet to balance your hormones We’ll also have a sauerkraut tasting with local food producer Moonstone Ferments. (Because not eating enough sauerkraut is just the wurst.) Who is this For? This is for solopreneurs, freelancers, startup founders, entrepreneurs, sleep-deprived parents, and anyone who depends on their creativity and knowledge to earn a living. This is for people who are looking to improve their emotional well-being through better lifestyle habits. People who want a better quality of life and are willing to make lifestyle changes in order to achieve it. People who have the guts to try something new.
