Gut health - Work Ready in-person workshop
About this session
Gut health influences far more than digestion. It plays a role in energy, immunity, mental wellbeing and more. It is also one of the most talked-about - and most misunderstood - areas of nutrition.
This session takes employees on a journey through the human digestive system, explaining how it works, what the microbiome is and how simple, food-based changes can make a real difference. It cuts through the hype and gives people practical, evidence-based tips they can use straight away.
