Dr Rebecca Ryan – Unblocking the Gut-Brain Highway: How Faecal Loading Fuels MCAS & POTS

Discover how faecal loading disrupts the gut-brain axis and fuels conditions like MCAS and POTS in this eye-opening talk with gastroenterologist Dr. Rebecca Ryan. Gain practical insights and strategies to support gut health, reduce inflammation, and restore balance to the nervous system.

Date: Sunday 6 July
Time: 10am – 12pm 

Join us at The Health Lodge on Sunday, 6 July for a transformative 90-minute public talk with renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Rebecca Ryan.

With over two decades of clinical experienceDr. Ryan is a leading voice in the management of complex gut-brain axis disorders, including Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), functional gastrointestinal conditions, including post COVID symptoms, liver disease, metabolic syndrome, and how diet, psychological stress and psychiatric conditions, impact all of these (Aurora Healthcare).

In this eye-opening session, Dr. Ryan will explore how faecal loading, often mistaken for simple constipation, can disrupt gut motility, trigger systemic inflammation, and exacerbate symptoms of MCAS and POTS. Drawing from her extensive clinical practice and recent presentations at national conferences, she will provide practical insights into identifying and addressing this overlooked driver of chronic illness.

 

This event complements our newly launched 3-day Organic Detox Retreats at The Health Lodge, which integrate the very principles Dr. Ryan will discuss, supporting gut clearance, restoring balance, and calming the nervous system. See details to book the luxury detox program below.
