Olga Hamilton Chef Nataliya

 

Are you struggling with digestive symptoms and your doctor says it is "just IBS"?

 

Are you eating healthy, but still feeling fatigue and wonder if you digest and absorb your nutrients well?

 

Or are you struggling with your mood or anxiety?

 

This masterclass is for you! We have gathered the best team of experts in gut health to take a deep dive into digestion, absorption, gut brain connection and microbiome.

 

Your day will cover:

IBS: symptoms, testing and solutions

 

Session 1: Presentation and discussion

 

Olga Hamilton, a Clinical Nutritionist with 15-years of gut fixing experience will dive into all digestive symptoms, look at all main causes, testing options and solutions for:

 

  • Acid reflux
  • Heartburn
  • Indigestion
  • Bloating
  • Diarrhoea
  • Constipation
  • Food intolerance/sensitivities
  • Wind/flatulence
  • Digestive pain
 
We will look at functional medicine gut tests: SIBO, digestive stool and microbiome analysis, what these tests can show and how to address them. 
 

Fermentation masterclass

 

Session 2: Demonstration and tastings



Chef Nataliya - our functional medicine chef - will teach you how to easily make fermented and delicious foods at home to improve your gut health and microbiome.

Gut health and emotional wellbeing


Session 4: Presentation and discussion

The scientific discovery that signals from the gut reaching the brain can have an impact on affect, emotion and cognition including beliefs and decision-making has been met with considerable public attention. 
 
Olga Hamilton will address the importance of a healthy and diverse gut microbiome for overall health, well-being and longevity with a focus on how you can improve and tune into your INTUITION or your "GUT FEELING"!

  • Mental Health and mood: we will look at the scientific evidence on how gut bacteria controls how you feel and behave plus how to improve your mood via your gut bacteria.
  • Longevity: we will cover the latest research on how specific gut microbes slow or even reverse ageing processes and how to grow them in your gut.


Visceral Manipulation

 

Session 5: Demonstration and hands-on practice

 

What is Visceral Manipulation and how can it contribute to a healthy digestive system, improve the circulation in the abdomen and help optimise absorption of nutrients - including a simple self technique to help regulate your gut transit.
