In a time of rising stress, emotional fatigue and mental overwhelm, Goodwood Health & Wellbeing introduces the Mood Food Connection Retreat, a science-informed, holistic health journey into how food, gut health and neuroscience converge to restore emotional balance, clarity and resilience.
Fitness Tips
We’ve all heard the phrase “trust your gut,” but science now tells us that our gut is doing far more than helping us digest food. Deep inside us lives a vast community of microbes – bacteria, fungi, and even viruses - known as the gut microbiome. This hidden ecosystem influences everything from immunity and energy to mood and mental clarity.
Fitness Tips
As summer fades and the school term looms, many of us find ourselves sliding back into old routines – early morning alarms, work meetings and queuing traffic. While routine can bring structure, it can also reignite the physical strains that come with modern life, especially for desk-bound professionals and busy parents. That is where clinical massage comes in as essential maintenance.
Fitness Tips
The link between gut health, emotional resilience and the way we nourish ourselves When we think about nourishment, most of us think about what is on our plate: calories, nutrients and portion sizes. But according to Goodwood Wellbeing’s naturopathic physician and resilience expert Kate Fismer, true nourishment starts with something deeper: a sense of safety in the body.
Fitness Tips
In a world where emotional fatigue, anxiety and burnout are on the rise, Goodwood Health & Wellbeing has unveiled a transformative new retreat designed to restore calm, clarity and resilience starting with the gut. Taking place this November, the Mood Food Connection Retreat is a four-day science-led journey that explores the powerful link between the food we eat and how we feel.
Fitness Tips
Did you know that your gut is home to an astonishing 30 to 50 trillion bacteria and other microbes? This bustling community, known as the gut microbiome, includes around 1,000 different bacterial strains along with viruses, fungi and even tiny parasites. Together, they form a complex ecosystem that plays a crucial role in your overall health and wellbeing.
Fitness Tips
As summer settles in across the Goodwood Estate in a beautiful pocket of West Sussex, it’s the perfect time to head outdoors with a picnic hamper in hand. But before you reach for the sausage rolls and scotch eggs, consider this: your gut microbiome, the trillions of microbes that live in your digestive tract, thrives on foods very different to the average picnic fare.
Fitness Tips
In today’s world of wellness, we’re bombarded with advice on what to eat, which supplements to take, and how to stay healthy. But the truth is, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellbeing. That’s why personalised health testing is fast becoming the gold standard in preventative care.
