The Gut-Brain Axis
W orld-renowned therapist and wellness expert Marisa Peer explains how plant-based prebiotics nourish the mind-body connection. A leading pathway to healing themind is to heal the gut, which is why I am endorsing Kfibre™ - a plant-derived, vegan prebiotic that is designed to heal and nourish the gut-brain axis. As a therapist, speaker, best-selling author and the founder of Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT®), my work focuses on the power of the mind. It is very important to understand why healing and supporting your gut has powerful effects on the mind, a dynamic referred to by scientists as the “gut-brain axis.” When we talk about the mind-body connection, there is an emphasis on how our thoughts create physical and emotional reactions in the body. However, it actually works both ways, particularly when it comes to gut health, because the gut-brain axis covers the bi-directional communication between the central nervous system and the gut microbiota, and back again.
Prebiotic power One thing that your body, mind and gut all absolutely need is a natural prebiotic. I have been using Kfibre for several months as part of my morning routine, and I have found that it has made an amazing difference to my gut health. Doctors call the gut ‘the second brain’ and we really need to take care of it.
it supports the all-important microbiome, helps normalise digestion, addresses the dietary causes of bloating and indigestion, and assists with weight maintenance. For people who suffer from uncomfortable digestive problems, Kfibre is a welcome addition to a holistic treatment protocol. Not only can it help reduce physical symptoms and promote regularity, it also alleviates the low confidence and self-esteem issues that come with chronic bloating and digestion problems. Kfibre’s unique flour-like formula is backed by four independent human clinical trials, three in-vitro scientific trials, and over eleven years of research and development at the University of Queensland and the University of Tasmania. It is now available worldwide. It is vegan, sugar, gluten and dairy free, and contains no known dietary allergens, making it an accessible choice for every lifestyle and preference. Kfibre is easy to integrate into a healthy lifestyle. I recommend adding the powder to a smoothie or yogurt, baking it into a breakfast bar, or simply adding a spoonful to a glass of water. Produced in the Burdekin region of far North Queensland, Kfibre’s powdered formula is derived from sugarcane, but is 95% sugar reduced with a neutral taste. (Only 4 calories per serve)
“Kfibre is the world’s first sugarcane-based prebiotic.”
