ISD 728 Community Education

Join us for an interactive and educational session where we dive into the fascinating world of gut health and explore how it impacts our overall well-being! In this class, you will learn practical strategies to support your digestive system and maintain a healthy and balanced microbiome. We’ll discover the power of food in promoting digestive health! We will explore a range of nutrient-rich foods that help nourish your gut; fermented foods packed with probiotics, and prebiotic foods that support beneficial bacteria. We'll also discuss supplements such as digestive enzymes and probiotics. We'll understand the critical connection between the gut and the brain, known as the gut-brain axis, and learn how it influences your mood, immunity, and overall health. We'll also introduce lifestyle practices like mindful eating, which fosters both mental and physical well-being. There will also be hands-on learning with a DIY workshop on fermenting your own sauerkraut! You'll learn step-by-step how to prepare this simple yet powerful probiotic-rich food, which can help diversify your gut microbiome and support digestion.
