About the course
The Gut-Brain Connection short course explains how through the nervous system, hormones and the immune system, the brain and the gut constantly exchange messages that affect people’s digestion, mood and cognition.
Signals pass both ways between digestive system and central nervous system, and health or disease in one can affect the other. When our gut is out of balance – whether it’s from a poor diet, stress or disruption in gut microbiome – it can mess with neurotransmitter (nerve messenger) production and trigger inflammatory responses, causing anxiety, depression and mood swings.
Restoring gut health through simple tweaks like dietary changes, probiotics and stress management can make a world of difference for our mood and mental well-being.

This Short Course on the Gut-Brain Connection is suitable for anyone wanting to learn practical tips to improve digestion and gut function, boost mood and brain health. There are no prerequisites to study.
