Tuesday Talk: Eating For Your Second Brain
Tue 23 Jul / 7:00pm

Ever get ‘gut feelings’ or feel like there are ‘butterflies in your stomach’? There’s exciting science behind them. Your gut isn’t just a digestive system; it’s a powerhouse — your second brain. When you’re feeling low, tired, or stressed, it’s not just in your head. What you eat matters too. Join microbiome scientist and registered dietitian Dr. Emily Leeming as she reveals the groundbreaking science of the gut-brain connection, as featured in her new book Genius Gut.

Discover the emerging evidence of how your gut bacteria signal to your brain, shaping your mood and cognition. Learn how the food you eat and the habits surrounding it can boost your mood, sharpen your focus, and make you feel amazing. Don’t ignore your brain either – it’s a two-way street, after all. Say goodbye to food-related stress and worrying about what you ‘shouldn’t’ eat. Understand how to manage food cravings without cutting out the foods you love.

With a gut-brain mindset, you’ll achieve a healthy balance and a thriving gut microbiome— for health and happiness from the inside out.

Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm – come down early and get a good seat!
