Food Mood and Performance - The Gut Brain Connection at Work

Have you ever wondered why stress gives you butterflies, or why anxiety can literally make you feel sick to your stomach? Science shows us it’s not just coincidence; it’s the gut-brain connection at work.

In this episode, I dive into how gut health shapes mood, memory, focus, and resilience, and why it’s the missing link in most workplace wellbeing strategies.

You’ll learn:

🔹 Why the gut is called our “second brain”

🔹 The role of hormones and neurotransmitters in energy and performance

🔹 How diet quality links to brain fog, anxiety, and depression

🔹 Practical steps leaders and workplaces can take to support thriving individuals and teams

Because when we look at people as whole humans, not just technical skillsets, we unlock the conditions for high-thriving individuals and organisations.

Tune in and discover why the path to better leadership and thriving workplaces might just start in the gut.
