We're hosting a Flux Community Potluck on Saturday, November 1; come to the talk before (details below) or just for the food at 5pm - either way, hope to see lots of you there!

You can RSVP on Facebook, or just write a comment here with what you plan on bringing to the potluck.

The Gut Talk - Discussing the Connection Between the Gut and the Brain with Dr. Marika Geis

Topics covered: 
- healing your gut essentially puts you on track for healthy aging and mitigates the risk factors involved in the development of chronic disease;

- outlining the basics of gut physiology and the links to immunity, inflammation, and mood;

- a loose guide identifying when something is amiss - what does dysfunction look like; and

- what to do about it - simple tools to heal every stage of digestion.
