A Gut-Focused Approach to Mental Health

For decades, the approach to the treatment of depression and anxiety has focused on neurotransmitter balance and function.  There has been huge research efforts based on the serotonin hypothesis which have produced no convincing evidence of a contributor to depression and now appears to have little to no relevance.  The underlying processes of many mental health conditions is much more closely linked to environmental factors especially gut function.

In this presentation, Lara Zakaria details the multitude of factors that impact mental health including inflammation and environment, focusing on the fascinating gut-brain axis. There is now substantial research on the role these factors have in brain function and therefore, many options for us to intervene. Lara reveals how the environment impacts neurological function and gives clear dietary and nutraceutical solutions that can have significant and lasting relief for your patients.
