NUTRITIONAL PSYCHIATRY: THE GUT-BRAIN AXIS
Julia Mazzotta, RD, Aurora Santa Rosa Behavioral Health
• Have you had a “gut-wrenching” experience?
• Have you ever felt “butterflies” in your stomach?
• Did you “trust your gut instinct”?
We use these expressions for a reason. The gastrointestinal tract is sensitive to emotion. Anger, anxiety, sadness, elation — all of these feelings (and others) can trigger symptoms in the gut, and we are just now beginning to understand why. Julia Mazzotta, RD, will share with us a topic that was presented at a Lunch-and-Learn earlier this year at Aurora Santa Rosa. Please join us!
