Gut Health and Stress with Dr Berit Nordstrand

The talk connects the biology of stress with the ordinary rhythms of eating, sleeping, moving and connecting with others, offering a concrete subject to explore.

Stress can invite us to look beyond what is happening in our thoughts. In this webinar, Dr Berit Nordstrand explores the relationship between stress and the gut, considering how signals travel in both directions. The discussion opens a wider view of everyday wellbeing, from food and movement to rest and social connection.

Hear Berit discuss digestion, the gut microbiome and the body’s stress response, then explore how disrupted sleep, daily routines and recovery can become connected. The session considers small, realistic lifestyle and workplace measures. You can engage through the chat; the organiser may record and share the session afterwards.

The webinar is free and takes place on Microsoft Teams. Joining details arrive 24 hours beforehand, with a reminder one hour before it begins. Ask the organiser in advance about any reasonable adjustments you need. The speaker’s views are her own and may not reflect those of the CIPD.
