[2] Gut-Brain Connection: Optimizing Executive Well-being and Performance
Description
In Episode Two of Executive Wellness UNPLUGGED, my guest, Melody Byblow, and I discuss the "Gut-Brain Connection" and how optimizing it enhances the well-being and performance of executives (and others).
Melody Byblow is a Holistic Nutritionist from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition and a graduate of our Workplace Wellness certification programs, including our "Certified Executive Wellness Coach" Course.
She has since joined the WWCOE Faculty and helped support the delivery of a 6-month Executive Wellness Coaching Contract with 8 hospital executives during the pandemic, profiled in my book, "Cultivating Healthy & Vibrant Workplaces."
With the support of a presentation deck, we engaged in a deep and often personal conversation relating to:
- Connection of Gut-Brain health to our overall health
- Common signs and symptoms that your Gut Health may be impaired
- Debilitating impacts of stress on Gut Health that you may not be aware of
- Executive lifestyle changes to improve Gut-Brain Health
- Less well-known strategies that can help improve Gut-Brain Health
- Impacts of Gut-Brain Health on executive cognitive function & performance
- Emerging research and trends relating to the Gut-Brain Connection
