Your body is 57% bacteria.

Trust your gut. Listen to your inner compass. Rely on gut instinct. What’s your gut reaction? All of these common phrases refer to what we have come to think of as a ‘second brain’ in the gut. And there is truth in that. But the real truth goes much deeper, to the microbial level. What’s more, the idea of a ‘gut brain’ is far more complex than an ‘aware biome’ of gut bacteria. The interaction of our cerebral brains with our gut ecosystems has many more far-reaching consequences than once thought. (And we now know that 57% of our body's cells are bacteria, archaea, fungi and viruses.) The doctors and scientists involved with Gut Brain Science have been exploring this hitherto undiscovered netherworld for several decades. In that time, through an evolving, evidence-based wellness program, many patients whose conditions had failed to improved through other means found relief, release, recovery and rejuvenation. 

What Gut Brain Science has discovered may surprise not only you, but much of the medical and scientific community as well. Join us on a journey to the centre of your self. 

You don’t have to get nerdy on the science to get back to health, but the Gut Brain Science approach is significant enough to attract the attention of many academics and clinical practitioners who, it is hoped, will help us take it further 

It is the bridge between clinical application of the science of gut health — built upon the work of the Rome Foundation — and gut-brain-interaction-based treatment programs. 

Why? The gut-brain axis is responsive to what we eat, how we sleep, how we live our life, what stresses we deal with — and how we deal with them — how we interact with life events, the context of our living, our genetic and other vulnerabilities. 

The interaction of these factors can progressively increase metabolic, physiological and other disturbances that can eventually manifest in a wide range of mental and physical health problems. This indicates that a gut-brain-axis dysfunction is a marker for an underlying problem — and that intervening at this level can be expected to achieve better outcomes than exclusively chasing symptoms. 

The aim is to achieve a sustainable recovery and improved wellbeing, with specific and overall psychological, physiological and functional improvements — poo better, feel better, think better, be better.
