This Tuesday join DNA for a meeting on how the nervous system, digestion, and neurodivergence are all connected.

We’ll explore:

The “second brain” in your gut and how it affects focus and mood
Why neurodivergent and chronically ill people often experience GI issues
How anxiety, meds, and sensory sensitivities affect eating
Gentle nutrition and realistic care for unpredictable bodies

We will meet in Rueben Cooke at 7PM like always!
