The Longevity Gut: The New Science of Digestion, Stress Recovery & Feeling Like Yourself Again
Your gut is not just a digestive organ—it’s an entire ecosystem influencing your stress response, energy, mood, and the cellular pathways that shape long-term health.

In this session, quintuple board-certified physician and best-selling author of The Anatomy of Wellbeing, Dr. Monisha Bhanote, MD, shares her #CellCare™ framework to help you understand this gut–mind–cell connection and the plant-based practices and calming nervous system resets that can help you feel like yourself again.
