CNM Manchester: Is Your Gut Affecting Your Mood?

The Gut-Brain Connection, Female Hormones & Mental Wellbeing

Could your gut health be influencing your mood? And what role do female hormones play?

Your gut and brain are in constant communication, while hormonal changes throughout the menstrual cycle can influence digestion, mood, energy, sleep and overall wellbeing.

You’ll explore:

How the gut-brain connection may influence mood and wellbeing

The relationship between gut health, digestion, stress and mood

The role of female hormones throughout the menstrual cycle

Why hormonal changes can affect digestion, mood, energy and sleep

The relationship between the gut microbiome, hormones and women’s health

Why you don't want to miss it

If you experience digestive issues, changes in mood, low energy or symptoms that vary throughout your menstrual cycle, discover how your gut, brain and hormones may be connected.
