Cancer treatments can change the gut microbiome, which can influence mental and physical health. Follow this page for study updates!

Our study looks at how a mindfulness-based cancer recovery (MBCR) program impacts the gut microbiome and overall health.

03/08/2025

The final round of the mindfulness-based cancer recovery (MBCR) programs for the Mindful-Gut Study is set to begin this fall, with programs starting in mid-September and mid-October!

If you wish to participate, please contact Jamie at jamie.petersson@ucalgary.ca to see if you qualify! If you have experienced gastrointestinal or mental health challenges due to cancer and its treatments, are 18+ years of age, and have completed primary cancer treatments within the last 5 years, you may be eligible to participate. We are only accepting participants who live in Calgary for this final cohort, since the researcher (Jamie) will be in her Ph.D. Candidacy and unable to drive far to pick up samples from participants homes. Thank you for your understanding ☺️

This is a unique opportunity to get your gut microbiome sequenced for free! Plus, you can participate in the study from the comfort of your home!
Many individuals experience ongoing gastrointestinal and mental health challenges long after cancer treatments. There is a lack of solutions to address these problems and this study hopes to see if a mindfulness program could be a solution.
