THE GUT - BRAIN AXIS

Your gut talks to your brain all day. Here's what it's saying.

The vagus nerve, your microbiome, the estrobolome. Three lessons on the real biology behind the bloating, the mood dips, and the week where your digestion changes with your cycle. Science explained properly, then made usable.

Sound familiar?

Training and health advice was never built for your body

The bloating seems random.

It isn't. It tracks with food, stress, sleep and your cycle — you've just never had a way to see all four at once.

Cutting foods out made it worse.

Every elimination diet reduces the variety your microbiome feeds on. Fewer plants in, fewer bacteria surviving.

Your mood and your digestion move together.

Because they're wired together. The vagus nerve runs between them, and your gut bacteria have a hand in serotonin.

INSIDE THE MODULE

What you'll learn

1. Your Second Brain

Why the bloating, the mood and the energy dips are the same conversation.

  • How the gut-brain axis works

  • The vagus nerve and what it carries

  • What's living in your microbiome

  • Why gut bacteria have a say in serotonin

  • The link between gut health, immunity and inflammation

2. Feed Your Microbiome

What to add to your plate, and why it works.

  • Fibre and microbial diversity

  • Prebiotics vs probiotics

  • Fermented foods worth eating

  • Polyphenols and plant variety

  • Building a stronger microbiome from food

3. Hormones, Mood & Recovery

Why your digestion changes with your cycle, and what to do about it.

  • The estrobolome and oestrogen metabolism

  • Gut health and emotional wellbeing

  • Inflammation and hormone balance

  • Eating for each phase of your cycle

  • Daily habits that support the gut-brain axis

WHO THIS IS FOR

This short course is for you if…

  • You get bloating or digestive symptoms alongside energy dips and mood swings

  • You've tried elimination diets and ended up more confused, and hungrier

  • You want food-first steps you can start this week

  • You want the actual science, not another list of rules

It's probably not for you if you're looking for a meal plan to follow, or you need treatment for a diagnosed condition. This is education that works alongside your GP or dietitian, not instead of them.

OUTCOMES

By the end, you'll…

  • Understand how your gut and brain communicate, including the vagus nerve and your microbiome

  • Know which everyday foods feed a healthier microbiome, and which ones don't

  • Recognise why your digestion shifts across your cycle

  • Have tracked a full week of your own meals against mood and energy, and know what to change

GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions

Is this a diet plan or an elimination protocol?

No. The focus is on understanding your gut-brain connection and adding in supportive foods and habits — fibre, plant diversity, fermented foods — rather than cutting things out. You'll get meal-planning templates, but no rigid rules.

How does the course work, and how long do I get?

You get instant access the moment you enrol. Everything is self-paced — watch the lessons whenever suits your week — and you keep access for 12 months, including any future updates and improvements at no extra cost.

I have a diagnosed gut condition (like IBS). Can I still take this?

The course is educational and gives you a solid understanding of the gut-brain connection, but it's not medical treatment. If you have a diagnosed condition, please keep working with your doctor or dietitian, and use this course as background knowledge alongside their advice.

Can I upgrade to the full 12-week Masterclass later?

Yes. This short course is one of ten inside the 12-week KIKO Masterclass ($999), which covers your brain, hormones, gut, strength, sleep and long-term wellness. If you'd like to upgrade after finishing this short course, just get in touch — that's exactly what the free consult is for.
