How Gut Health Nourishes the Nervous System (and Vice Versa)!
When we think of mental health, we often picture the brain. But what if one of the most powerful regulators of your emotional well-being isn’t just in your head? It’s in your belly.
Science is confirming what ancient healing systems and integrative practitioners have long known: your gut and your brain are in constant conversation. This communication network, called the gut-brain axis, helps regulate mood, memory, stress response, and emotional resilience.
As a naturopathic physician and a somatic therapist specializing in trauma and nervous system regulation, we have witnessed how the body holds emotional patterns that affect digestion. Your gut is not just a digestive organ. It is home to trillions of microbes, produces critical brain chemicals, and directly influences your nervous system through both physical and chemical pathways. Supporting gut health, then, becomes a powerful strategy for improving mental health.
Let’s explore how this connection works and how you can begin to nourish and soothe your digestion and your mind using naturopathic medicine, somatic therapy, and simple daily practices.
It's true that you are not just what you eat. You are also what you absorb, digest, and integrate—including your nourishment, your emotions, and your inner peace.
Are you ready to learn more about how to trust your gut and reconnect with your body’s natural wisdom? Join Ali Moto and Dr. Nicole for a “come as you are” workshop at The Vervain Collective 6/17/25 5:30-7:00. Let’s root into the healing power of plants, presence, and inner knowing.
