Your brain is in your gut
- July 25th
- 19.00 – 20.30 UK time
In just the last few years research is showing that our gut microbiome (that’s all the bacteria and other organisms in our intestines) has an enormous affect on our thinking, emotions and moods. There is a ‘Gut-Brain Axis’ with the brain and gut in constant communication through the nervous, endocrine (hormone) and immune systems. For example changes in the microbiome affect the neurotransmitters in our brains, which can contribute to depression, anxiety and other mental health problems.
In my first class with Michio Kushi, an amazing teacher of macrobiotics, he drew an eloquent diagram of the connection between our brain and intestines, stressing that the health of our gut determines the health of our minds.
In my experience most people’s intestines and digestive systems are in bad shape - so let’s really understand how to create the best gut health possible, to enhance our clear thinking and emotional wellbeing.

World in chaos, or in evolutionary change
- September 25th
- 19.00 – 20.30 UK time
Humanity is faced with multiple challenges – global warming, wars in different parts of the world, rising physical and mental health illness in many countries, and destruction of our environment. Are we in decline as a species, or is something else going on?
Michio Kushi, the foremost teacher of macrobiotics, not only looked at food and health, but also the evolution of human consciousness and culture in the past and future. He used scientifically recognised cycles such as the precession of the world’s axis, in which the north pole moves through a great arc in the sky every 26,000 years, to see the changes in nature and ourselves happening over long periods of time.
This gives us signposts on where we are going, what to aim for, how to adjust our individual and collective way of living for a brighter future to come. I have been reflecting on these teachings for the last 45 years, and feel they give us profound insights into exactly the internal changes in our thinking and view of life, and our external way of living that we need to be making now!
