Foundations of Resilient Health: a Wellness Series with Elizabeth Greenfield

Part 3: Your Brain, Your Power – Mood, Memory, and Mental Clarity at Any Age

This session focuses on the connection between the gut and the brain, and how lifestyle, nutrition, and inflammation influence not just cognitive function, but also mood, motivation, and long-term mental health.

Key topics:

• The gut-brain axis: how your microbiome influences mood, focus, and mental energy
• Root causes of brain fog, forgetfulness, and low motivation
• The role of inflammation, blood sugar, hormones, and detoxification in mental health
• Strategies to reduce anxiety and support emotional balance naturally
• Nutrients and lifestyle shifts that promote long-term cognitive health and lower risk for dementia

Common concerns this addresses:

• Struggling with brain fog, low mood, or lack of focus
• Anxiety or depression that feels worse with stress, gut issues, or hormone shifts
• Concern about memory, aging, or family history of cognitive decline
• Interest in natural strategies to support mood, clarity, and long-term brain resilience
