Gut Feelings: Integrative Nutrition

Gut Feelings: Using Integrative Nutrition to Heal from the Bottom Up
Mary Virginia Coffman, MSW, MS, CNS, LDN, LN

The news cycle and plenty of advertising have made it clear that digestive health and food choices are key to overall health. But did you know that what happens in your digestive system is critical to your mood, metabolic health, and brain health? Are you familiar with the food choices and habits of being that contribute to an improved healthspan?

Let’s cut through the hype about food, nutrition, and lifestyle habits and get to the heart of what actually works. Mary Virginia will design an interactive roadmap that will guide you into improved mental and physical health.


Here are some questions Mary Virginia will address:
What food and lifestyle choices will support a balanced mood, a clear head, connective thinking, and focus?
How can gut and metabolic health protect my brain?
What will help me build stress resilience?
What do I need to know in order to assess my own experiences and learn what works best for me?
