- **Event Name**: The ultimate gut reset – how to transform your mental and physical health through your microbiome
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 18 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 am – Wed, 18 Mar, 2026 at 11:00 am
- **Event Description**: Autumn is the ideal season to detoxify, reset your gut microbiome, and restore balance to your nervous system — a powerful step toward lasting vitality and emotional resilience.

Join Seleno Health for an inspiring and evidence-informed 2-hour workshop, where you'll discover our transformative 12-Week Gut Reset program. Drawing from ancient Peruvian wisdom (including revered superfoods like maca, cacao, yacon, and tocosh) and modern nutritional neuroscience, this practical guide empowers you to heal your gut, optimize your gut-brain axis, and support profound improvements in mental health, mood, energy, and overall well-being.

The workshop dives deep into the gut-brain axis — the bidirectional communication highway linking your gut microbiome, enteric nervous system, vagus nerve, immune pathways, and brain. Emerging neuroscience shows that a balanced gut ecosystem profoundly influences neurotransmitter production (such as serotonin — with ~90% made in the gut — and dopamine), stress response via the HPA axis, inflammation levels, and even neuroplasticity. Dysbiosis (imbalanced gut bacteria) is increasingly linked to conditions like anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, brain fog, and mood instability, while nurturing beneficial microbes can promote emotional regulation, reduced stress reactivity, mental clarity, and resilience.

You'll learn science-backed strategies to:

Rebuild a thriving microbiome with targeted prebiotics (e.g., yacon syrup's FOS and inulin to feed good bacteria), probiotics (e.g., fermented tocosh as a wholefood "Penicillin of the Andes" for potent gut repopulation), digestive enzymes, and gut-healing foods (bone broth, collagen, slippery elm, turmeric).

Harness mood-enhancing superfoods: adaptogenic maca for hormone balance, stress management, and vitality; mineral-rich cacao loaded with flavanols, theobromine (a gentle energizer), tryptophan (serotonin precursor), phenylethylamine (the "love chemical" that boosts dopamine reward pathways), and bliss molecules that elevate mood, cognition, and creativity while reducing inflammation — all supporting the gut-brain connection.

Boost detoxification, immunity, and cellular protection with GPx Immune Protect, which enhances your body's natural glutathione peroxidase systems (and related antioxidant enzymes) to combat oxidative stress — a key factor in fatigue, burnout, chronic inflammation, and mood disorders.

Integrate nervous system reset tools: mindful eating, breathwork, gentle movement/yoga, and daily mindfulness practices to calm the vagus nerve, lower cortisol, and enhance parasympathetic "rest-and-digest" mode — directly benefiting both gut function and mental/emotional health.

The session also explores how these interventions tie into the endocannabinoid system (ECS) — your body's master regulator of stress, mood, inflammation, and homeostasis. A healthy microbiome supports ECS signaling (via microbial metabolites and fatty acid precursors), which can help alleviate anxiety, depression symptoms, and anhedonia (lack of pleasure/motivation), creating a virtuous cycle for brain and gut health.

You'll receive actionable tools, including:

The full PDF 12-Week Gut Reset daily planner and holistic guidance.

Personalized ideas for chronic fatigue, autoimmunity, hormonal imbalances, or stress-related conditions.

Tips to reduce reliance on medications through natural, food-first approaches.

Interactive Q&amp;A, real-life case studies (showing gains in energy, mood stability, skin clarity, reduced inflammation, and emotional well-being), and practical integration steps ensure you leave empowered and equipped.

Whether you're seeking preventive wellness, mood optimization, or support for persistent challenges, this gut-centric, neuroscience-informed approach — rooted in wholefoods and ancient remedies — helps you unlock your body's innate healing potential from the inside out.
