Understanding the Midlife Brain–Gut Connection

A Free Live Workshop with Dr. Emeran Mayer & Anu Simh

Discover why stress, sleep, digestion, cravings, and metabolism feel different in midlife, and what your body has been trying to tell you all along.

Midlife brings a series of subtle shifts that can feel confusing, discouraging, or simply unexpected. This workshop will help you understand the physiology behind those changes, so you can stop guessing, stop blaming yourself, and start seeing your body with the clarity science provides.

Date: January 17th, 2026.
Time: TBD

What The Webinar is About

This workshop offers a guided look at the midlife physiology most women have never been taught to recognize. Instead of viewing symptoms (sleep, digestion, and mood) in isolation you’ll learn how these systems operate as a single, continuous network.

Dr. Emeran Mayer, a pioneer on the brain–gut connection, joins midlife expert Anu Simh to help you understand the deeper physiology driving the surprising shifts of your 40s and 50s. Together, we will map the conversation happening between your brain, your gut, your hormones, your immune system, and the lived realities of a demanding life.

Dr. Emeran Mayer will open the scientific lens on the brain–gut connection, explaining how stress responses, microbial shifts, hormonal transitions, and immune activity shape what you feel day to day. Anu Simh will translate that science into lived experience, helping you understand the signals your body sends long before they show up on lab results.

Sign up to the free webinar to get a clearer map of what’s changing, why it’s happening, and how these pieces fit together—so the patterns you’ve been noticing finally make sense.

What You Will Learn:

The Five Key Midlife Disruptors
How stress responses, hormonal shifts, digestion, sleep patterns, and metabolism evolve and why these changes matter.
Why “Doing Everything Right” Stops Working
When traditional approaches (dieting harder, pushing through fatigue, ignoring symptoms) fall flat, there’s a reason.
How the Brain–Gut Circuit Shapes Mood, Cravings & Weight
Why midlife heightens cravings, emotional eating, and physical sensitivity.
What to Start Noticing in Your Own Body
Simple, practical ways to read your body’s signals with less self-blame and more accuracy.
