Course Overview
Chronic stress affects far more than emotional wellbeing – it influences cortisol regulation, gut health, inflammation, metabolism and autonomic nervous system function. This interdisciplinary webinar explores the interaction between the HPA axis, microbiome, nutrition and nervous system regulation.
Participants learn practical, evidence-informed nutritional and nervous system strategies that support healthier cortisol rhythms, stress recovery and improved physiological resilience.
