Gut Health for Better Mood in Otley & Leeds | The Gut–Brain Connection

This 60-minute gut health workshop is part of a 7-workshop series, designed to help you understand how gut health impacts real-life outcomes like energy, mood, focus, hormones and performance.

Each workshop focuses on a specific topic and breaks down what’s really going on in the gut, why common symptoms keep showing up, and which simple changes make the biggest difference. No extreme diets. No confusing science. Just clear, food-first guidance you can apply straight away.

If you attend, you can expect expert-led explanations, practical takeaways, time for questions, and guided tastings of kombucha, kimchi, kraut and kefir.

You’ll leave clearer, more confident, and knowing exactly what to focus on first.

This is just one workshop in the series. You can book onto this session on its own, or combine it with others running across February and March if you want to go deeper and take your gut health to the next level.
