Understanding the Mind-Gut Connection

Australia · CPD courses & CPD points · Health Professionals

In this lecture, Dr. Shona Fraser explores the profound and complex relationship between the brain and gut, uncovering how mental health and physical wellness are intimately connected through a shared neural network. The “Mind-Gut Connection” delves into groundbreaking research, revealing how gut health influences cognitive functions, mood stability, stress resilience, and even emotional regulation.

Viewers will gain insights into the key roles of the microbiome – the collection of trillions of microorganisms in the gut – and the Vagus nerve, which acts as a vital communication highway between the gut and the brain.

Topics covered include:

• The Gut Microbiome’s Impact on Mood & Anxiety: Understand how specific gut bacteria can influence neurotransmitter production, affecting mood, anxiety, and even resilience to stress.
• Nutritional Neuroscience: Learn which foods support cognitive function and emotional wellness, as well as practical dietary approaches to enhance gut health and overall well-being.
• The Stress-Inflammation Connection: Discover how stress alters gut health and increases inflammation, impacting everything from mental clarity to physical health.
• Practical Mind-Gut Health Strategies: Gain tools for supporting both gut and brain health, including mindfulness practices, dietary modifications, and lifestyle changes that promote a balanced gut-brain axis.
