Acting on the second brain
The intestinal flora, now referred to as the “microbiota”, offers a richness and diversity that went largely undiscovered until very recent scientific advances. With more than 200 million neurons lining your intestines and more than 39,000 billion bacteria, your stomach acts as a “second brain”, of which fluctuations can lead to all sorts of consequences, particularly on our psychological well-being
A genuine organ, the microbiota is responsible for 95% of the body’s synthesis of serotonin, the main happiness hormone. In contrast, a poor microbiota will lead to feelings of anxiety due to the release of pro-inflammatory molecules.
Developed by the Australian gastroenterology society, the low-FODMAPs diet, implemented at La Bastide de Callian, is, when combined with certain dietary supplements, one of today’s best allies in working with the “second brain”.
- The microbiota represents the biggest scientific advancement in recent years.
- The microbiota is a genuine organ, and we can keep it well balanced by limiting inflammation.
- The microbiota plays a major role in a number of pathologies: depression, anxiety, chronic pain, irritable bowel syndrome.
- La Bastide de Callian is the first clinic in France to adopt the low-FODMAPs diet, the effects of which have been scientifically proven.
Above all, we have chosen to offer a healthy, balanced and delicious menu. Following a low-FODMAPs diet for a few weeks poses no contraindication. You can even continue to follow it at home if you are pleased with the positive effects you experienced during your stay.
La Bastide de Callian’s specific treatment is based on the international scientific literature, which demonstrates the, until recently, underestimated impact of the microbiota on human health.
