How Brain Gut Connect has helped

Mike’s Story:

Corporate Job, Husband and Father of 5

Mike & his wife both work full time with 5 children.

High pressure job managing projects, days off consist of school sport & home maintenance.

He eats on the run or in front of his desk, with late nights, poor sleep.

Mike’s goals were:

To improve his energy levels so he can keep up with the kids and cope with pressure at work.

To be fit & healthy like he was 10 years ago & enjoy a happy stress free life with his family.

What was holding Mike back

Really busy & can’t find time for himself. Stressed, moody, unfit & exhausted.

Relying of caffeine & sugar & craves salt and carbs. 

Has failed at previous attempts to improve his health.

Not interested in medication as suggested by his wife & health professionals.

Feeling demotivated & flat, struggling to find a solution.

Why Mike chose Brain Gut Connect

Mike wanted a natural & long term solution, with guidance along the way from a health professional.

He needed to find support where he felt safe to openly express his health concerns without judgement.

Mike wanted a holistic approach to his health where physical and mental wellbeing is addressed.

How Brain Gut Connect provided treatment

Mike’s health concerns were examined by his assigned practitioner using his completed patient history form.

A Mood Disorder Appraisal was completed providing valuable insight into deficiencies associated with adrenal exhaustion & sleep quality.

Mike’s Mother had suffered similar health concerns & it was recommended he perform a mood & cognition DNA test.

DNA results showed his genetics may have contributed to his inability to cope with stress.

Mike was prescribed a nutritional formula to correct biochemical imbalances, support energy production & encourage restful sleep.

Plus Mike was provided with diet & lifestyle modifications to implement over time so he didn’t have to rely on taking his nutritional formula.

What prompted Mike to take action

Mike needed to escape the cycle he was in, he was feeling more & more drained each day.

He needed to improve wellbeing fast but wasn’t interested in band-aid solutions that didn’t address the underlying cause, & didn’t want to risk side effects of medication.

His wife had encouraged him to seek help & he was aware his condition was straining his family relationships & affecting work productivity. 

Mike’s outcome and how his health improved

Mike began to feel more motivated & after just two days of nutritional support his energy & mental alertness was greater & his wife said he was calmer.

Mike made small dietary improvements each day & after a week realised he was refreshed after sleep which he hadn’t experienced in years.

His stamina throughout the day grew & after a few weeks he was able to start swimming before work which he did before he had kids.

Mike continues to make good dietary choices for his body & sets aside time to focus on his fitness.

He has stopped taking his nutritional supplement regularly & now only uses it if he needs extra support.

He has achieved his health goals, his productivity at work has increased but best of all he is spending quality time with his family.

Mina’s Story:

Restaurant Owner

Mina is a busy Restaurateur & has worked in Hospitality for over 30 years.

She was feeling like she was getting too old to continue, burnt-out & highly emotional.

Mina’s goal was to relieve chronic pain, have greater endurance, clarity of mind & less stress.

What prompted Mina to take action

Understaffed since COVID & having to work long hours between the kitchen & floor, Mina was turning to alcohol after work to wind down & relieve stress.

She noticed her weight ballooning for a few years but ate very little.

Mina’s chronic pain reduced her ability to care for herself, she took medication but says side effects included tiredness, excessive thirst & bloating.

She was seeing a Psychologist but felt her health concerns were more physical.

A friend of Mina’s mentioned that Brain Gut Connect had helped others in the hospitality industry. 

Why Mina chose Brain Gut Connect

Mina decided to invest in the Brain Gut Connect program as she wanted to thoroughly address her multiple health concerns.

She wanted a practitioner that would have the time to guide & educate her with ongoing support until she could manage by herself.

Mina had tried many different therapies but felt little or no effect & therefore struggled to maintain them.

She was worried that if she didn’t make some changes to her health & wellbeing soon she would suffer serious consequences.

How Brain Gut Connect provided treatment

Mina worked with her practitioner at Brain Gut Connect for a few hours a week over two months.

They used a combination of tests, nutritional supplements, dietary & lifestyle changes to improve her health.

Mina empowered herself by learning about her body & how to optimise its function.

Mina is now mentally & physically equipped for her busy role & has check-ups with her practitioner to keep on track.
