Why Create a Gut Health Club?

(1) Our industrial food systems are destroying our planet and our (gut) health. The more people understanding these connections, the more power we have to heal our own bodies and help the Earth.

The soil microbiome (yes, this is a thing) and gut microbiome are directly connected. In the Gut Health Club, we host monthly workshops with specialists to discuss the connections between planetary and personal health. When we make these connections, we can not only begin to heal ourselves, but also pave the foundation for creating healthier, more resilient communities.

(2) Your gut is intricately interconnected with not just the outside environment, but also your mind, nervous system, and emotions. They need to be considered together.

The gut holds 90% of the body’s serotonin, so gut imbalance often presents alongside mental health issues like depression, anxiety, low self-worth, and feeling energetically depleted. Modern lifestyle factors like stress directly impact the diversity of our microbiome: as long as we remain in a constant state of ‘fight or flight’, we cannot properly digest, rest, and receive. The Gut Health Club connects you to mental health and nervous system specialists and a series of recorded practices to help you de-stress, rest, and digest.

(3) Wellness has become an individualized, profit-driven industry, but we were never meant to heal alone.

It is much nicer to make a new recipe with friends than alone. It is easier to make changes to habits in your life when you do it together. Talking through how we feel with others and feeling supported to do hard things makes healing 1000x more powerful, sustainable, and doable. The Gut Health Club is a space where you can slowly rebuild your gut health with others.
