Over the past few decades scientists have discovered there is direct communication between the gut and the brain. Embryologically the two start out at the same point. Then one goes up and one goes down. Cells that begin in such close relationship retain a lifelong memory of each other and the bidirectional highway that runs between them is trafficked by a constant stream of messages. The complex and multifaceted aspects of the gut-brain axis not only ensures proper maintenance and regulation of the gastrointestinal system, but has profound impact on mood, behavior and higher cognitive functions.
This presentation will speak to the importance of understanding the relationship between the gut and the brain, and the impact of food on mood. As clinicians working with trauma, anxiety and depression, this topic is of particular relevance as attention is paid to both cerebral cognitive activity as well as to limbic, bodily experience. Helping patients bring balance to the system is of forefront importance in working with strong affect states and nutrition can be enemy or ally in the service of restoring equilibrium and harmony to the whole being.
The talk will give an overview of the science and biology of the gut-brain axis, the importance of the microbiome, basic nutritional information and simple tips oftenuseful to patients. Consideration will also be given to when it is clinically appropriate to introduce this topic, when it is not, and provide case examples that demonstrate how this plays in the treatment setting.
