Halloween through New Year’s Day seems to mark the “Season of Indulgent Eating” for most Americans. However, your digestion can feel wonky at any time of the year. Join clinical herbalist Mo Katz-Christy at the Rockport Public Library for a 90-min. program about herbs that can help to regulate, nourish, and heal your digestive system. 

Did you know that our gut sends more messages to our brain than our brain sends to our gut? Or that the liver can regulate our hormones? Or that most of our immune system is in our gut? Whenever our body is dysregulated, the gut is likely to play a role in healing. Katz-Christy will discuss how our bodies evolved with plants and how we can work with them to regulate our gut, and in doing so, our whole bodies.
