Mind body connection 🙌

New research shows the gut microbiome can talk directly to the brain via the vagus nerve, with certain gut bacteria activating neural pathways that influence mood, behaviour, and thinking.

Scientists found specific microbial signals stimulate vagal neurons, helping explain gut–brain links seen in emotional and cognitive changes.

This work strengthens the idea that gut health matters for mental well-being and brain function while stopping short of claiming simple fixes.

It also opens the door to microbiome based therapies that might one day help treat mood and brain disorders.

Practical takeaway: a balanced diet and gut friendly habits could support both digestion and mental health as research advances.

The mind and body are deeply connected caring for one without the other leaves healing incomplete. Lasting mental health means nourishing both your emotional and physical well-being. 💫

Adults need meditation too, it’s not just for kids!

Join us for Mindful Mornings every Saturday in October at 9 AM. These adult-focused meditations are the perfect way to pause, breathe, and take a moment for yourself.

☀️ Weather permitting, we’ll meet outdoors at Gillette Park, where you can ground yourself in nature, breathe fresh air, and let the calm of the outdoors deepen your practice.

🌧 If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll gather at our Sayville office instead.

We look forward to having you! 🧘‍♀️

🗣️ This isn’t fluff people! It’s biological. Gratitude isn’t just a mindset, it’s medicine for the brain. By practicing gratitude, you’re strengthening positive neural pathways, boosting feel-good chemicals like dopamine and serotonin, and lowering stress hormones. It’s one of the simplest, most powerful tools we have for mental health.

Food for thought 🤔

A nonstop cycle of negative news does more than just upset you—it can fundamentally alter your brain's stress response. Research shows that people who excessively consumed media after traumatic events had more acute psychological symptoms than those actually at the scene.

By understanding how constant doomscrolling rewires our minds, we can learn to engage with the world's events in a healthier way—discover how: https://on.natgeo.com/46xcp5F
