About this webinar
Mood health is more than just neurotransmitters in the brain—it begins in the gut. The gut-brain axis is an intricate communication network linking the gastrointestinal tract, immune system, and central nervous system. Emerging research shows that probiotics can influence mood and emotional resilience by modulating gut microbiota, reducing inflammation, and supporting neurotransmitter production.
In this webinar, we will explore how targeted probiotic strains support women’s mental well-being through their effects on gut health, microbial balance, and the gut–brain axis. Clinical evidence and practical case insights will be highlighted, equipping practitioners with tools to support patients struggling with stress, anxiety, and mood fluctuations.
Key takeaways
- Explain the bidirectional communication between the gut and brain (the gut–brain axis) and its relevance to mood regulation.
- Describe how dysbiosis and gut barrier dysfunction contribute to stress, anxiety, and mood disturbances.
- Identify key probiotic strains and summarize the clinical research supporting their role in women’s digestive, immune, and emotional health.
- Apply practical recommendations for integrating probiotics into clinical practice to support women experiencing stress, mood changes, or digestive complaints.
