Gut Health Workshops in Leeds & Otley | Food-First, Science-Led

Gut Health Workshops in Leeds & Otley

Your gut controls more than you think.

Energy levels. Mood swings. Brain fog. Hormonal chaos. Sleep quality. Immune function. Weight management. Mental clarity.

If something feels "off" in your life, there's a good chance your gut is involved.

That's why we're running weekly Gut Health Workshops at Functional Drinks Club in Otley - just 25 minutes from Leeds city centre.

Real Food. Real Science. Real Results.

These aren't fluffy wellness talks or pseudoscience nonsense.

Our workshops are food-first, science-led, and practical. You'll learn evidence-based strategies you can actually implement, understand the science behind gut health without needing a biology degree, and discover which foods and habits genuinely make a difference.

No supplements to buy. No meal plans to follow. Just real information you can use immediately.

What Each Workshop Covers

Each week focuses on a specific aspect of gut health and how it affects your daily life:

Energy & Fatigue - Why you're tired all the time and how gut health affects energy production, mitochondrial function, and stamina.

Mood & Mental Health - The gut-brain connection, how 90% of your serotonin is made in your gut, and foods that support mental wellbeing.

Menopause & Hormones - How gut health influences hormone balance, estrogen metabolism, and managing menopausal symptoms through diet.

Focus & Performance - Brain fog, concentration, cognitive function, and how your gut microbiome affects mental clarity and productivity.

Immunity & Recovery - Why 70% of your immune system lives in your gut and how to support it through food and lifestyle.

Digestion & Bloating - Understanding IBS, bloating, constipation, and practical strategies for better digestive health.
