In our upcoming episode of the Empowered Nutrition Podcast, we have a special guest joining us to dive deep into the fascinating world of the gut-brain connection and how it relates to anxiety relief. This is a topic that has been gaining significant attention in the world of nutrition and holistic wellness.

Our guest, Kari, known as the Gut-Brain RD, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the discussion.

She serves individuals who struggle with chronic digestive complaints such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, gas, reflux, and abdominal pain. She also serves individuals who struggle with disordered eating and Binge Eating Disorders, through the incorporation of intuitive eating principles and mindfulness-based techniques.

This episode will shed light on:

• The essential bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain.
• Why conventional medicine often overlooks the role of gut health in anxiety.
• Holistic approaches that combine nutrition and lifestyle factors to manage anxiety comprehensively.

Kari will share valuable insights, practical tips, and actionable strategies to help you better understand and address anxiety from a holistic perspective.

It might feel like a time to hibernate and stay inside with the damp cold weather, the long January with credit card bills coming from Christmas spends, but I’m here to share some easy and simple ways you can boost your mood.

Listen in where I share four key areas that you can focus on that boost different 'feel-good' chemicals of

Endorphins - the feel good chemical

Dopamine - the reward chemical

Oxytocin - the connection boost

Seratonin - the mood stabiliser

If it feels overwhelming, don't worry, listen right to the end.  I share if you do just one thing - I share one activity that will hit 3 if not 4 of the feel good chemicals I've mentioned.
