Science Corner 

Have you ever felt like stress targets the stomach first?

It’s not your imagination. There’s a direct connection between your body’s hormonal response and the bacteria proliferating throughout our gut. Not only can chronic stress upset the delicate balance between bacteria strains living in our stomach and intestines, but disruption of these microbes can, in turn, impact our hormonal responses.

It’s a complex, two-way street with each group possibly playing a part in some of our most common chronic conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal diseases. 

Although research of this gut-brain axis is in its infancy, explorations into the dance between gut microbes and the central nervous system  — particularly through the endocrine (hormonal) system —  may unveil a new world of Psychobiotics and functional foods capable of curbing gastrointestinal and mental health disorders, according to recent research published in the Journal of Science and Medicine.

Pro Tips 📋

Ready to jumpstart your fall member campaign?

1. Choose your strategy: paid advertising or internal referral campaign. 

2. Release the campaign across the fall rather than focusing on individual holidays. The offers change but the campaign remains the same. 

3. Remember to add a New Years’ resolution promotion — don’t make it more valuable to wait until January to join your gym.
