“Your Gut, Brain & Metabolism: The Healing Connection”

Your body isn’t broken—it’s trying to communicate.”

Drawing on the latest science from Good Energy by Dr. Casey Means and The Mind-Gut Connection by Dr. Emeran Mayer, our approach explores how the health of your metabolism and gut microbiome directly influences your mood, anxiety, sleep, energy, and sense of well-being.

• At the integrative holistic counseling practice of Cathy Armstrong LPC-S, RN, we integrate functional nutrition, somatic therapy, and emotional release tools to help you heal from the inside out. When your gut is inflamed, your brain suffers. When your mitochondria are exhausted, your motivation and mood drop.

But the good news? You can rewire your brain, restore your energy, and calm your nervous system—naturally, without shame or judgment. Healing starts by listening to your inner intelligence and giving your body the nourishment, safety, and support it .

Inspired by the work of:

• Dr. Casey Means, author of Good Energy, on the link between metabolism and mental clarity

Dr. Emeran Mayer, author of The Mind-Gut Connection, on how gut bacteria shape your thoughts and emotions
