Fix Your Gut: How the Digestive System Impacts Energy, Mood & Immunity
This course will help you understand all of the basic structures and functions of the digestive system so that you can use that knowledge to increase your physical and mental health. I will walk you through the steps to understanding how the various processes of the digestive system can affect conditions that seem unrelated, such as mood, energy, weight control, blood sugar, inflammation, and allergies. The digestive system can be the origin of many chronic inflammatory conditions that impact millions of people. Did you know that obesity and depression are linked to the health of your gut microbiome, ability to regulate blood sugar, and the integrity of your intestinal lining. This course will discuss topics such as why dietary fiber is important for bowel health, how the microbiome impacts mood and inflammation, why ‘leaky gut’ can contribute to food allergies and sensitivities, and how we can have some control over various hormones that affect our appetite, blood sugar, energy levels, and body weight. At the end of this course you will understand how the digestive system works so that you can understand why some simple habits and food choices will improve your digestive health, that will improve your overall health.

The Digestive System and Your Health is designed to help you understand your body on a deeper level. This comprehensive guide breaks down the anatomy and function of each organ and tissue involved in digestion, explains how food is processed and absorbed, and explores how the digestive system is regulated and supported.
You’ll also learn why gut health is at the root of so many common (and often misunderstood) symptoms—like fatigue, inflammation, sugar cravings, brain fog, mood imbalances, headaches, rashes, allergies, and more. Even if you’ve been chasing answers for years, the root may be in your gut.
If you want to understand how your digestive system works at both the system and cellular level—and finally make sense of your symptoms—this book is for you. You’ll gain the tools to tune into your body, decode its signals, and support its natural ability to heal and thrive.
