A Healthy Gut – Optimal Wellbeing for You and Your Child: Teleclass Re-cap

    Find Family Friendly Activities

    We hear a lot about eating whole foods, organic foods and healthy fats. But it goes beyond nourishment. A healthy gut is the foundation for physical, mental and emotional well-being. All the way down to the cellular level, healthy nourishment keeps your body and mind fueled up and ready to take on the world.

    This week, we held an important and enlightening teleclass, expertly facilitated by Amy Marlow, MPH, RD, CDN and Nutrition Advisor, and generously sponsored by Happy Family, to discover how your digestive health is intimately linked to your immune, endocrine, circulatory, and central nervous systems.

    Amy discussed such topics as how gut health impacts our most basic physiological processes, the link between nutrition and bowel habits – including a discussion of fiber and fluid, probiotics and other natural remedies, common gastrointestinal concerns in children and adults, how to identify if you have an issue that requires professional help and more.
