Have you heard your gut being called your ‘second brain’? Turns out, it’s not far off…In fact, your gut health has a significant impact on your brain health, and vice versa!

Your brain and your gut are connected physically and chemically, communicating through various means including the nervous system, hormones and inflammation.

Crucial Early Years
Just in case you need another reason to look after you and your family’s gut health…

We know that we pass down some of our microbes to ‘seed’ our baby’s own gut microbiome, so ultimately we would get our own microbiome in optimal condition before giving birth (find out more about how to do this in module 4 of our online course)…

In the first three years of their lives, communication between our baby’s brain and gut is programmed. Any disruption in their development can interrupt communication between their gut and brain, potentially leading to things like IBS, autism, ADHD, obesity and anxiety later in life.

We discuss some of the main factors that can lead to this disruption between the brain and gut, plus offer some tips to help reduce this disruption, in our online course ‘Healthy Gut, Healthier Baby’, particularly in Module 9 ‘Mothercare’.

Our online course, ‘Healthy Gut, Healthier Baby’, is designed to deliver our knowledge as far and wide as possible, so that we can help as many people as possible.

We know that many people don’t have the finances, or the time, to see lots of different healthcare specialists, so we’ve gathered some of Australia’s leading healthcare professionals to chat to you about fertility, the microbiome, pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

To find out more about the gut-brain connection, how this affects your gut microbiome, and how your microbiome can impact your fertility, pregnancy health and the health of your baby, join our online course ‘Healthy Gut, Healthier Baby’. Our course has 10 modules, each designed to meet you where you’re at on your journey from ‘maybe’ to ‘baby’.

And, for a limited time, this entire course is FREE (normally priced at $376).

All you need to do to get it is comment ‘HEALTHYBUB’ at checkout!
