Back in two weeks 🧠

Taking a mini summer break, back soon!

We’re always striving to do more for our health.

But what about doing less?

Taking a break to rest and recuperate – a mini breather where you step off the merry-go-round of life – to regroup and recharge is just as important.

We talk a lot about food and microbes here on

Second Brain

.

But many other factors shape your gut microbes and your wider health too, like:

• Time in nature

• Moving your body

• Managing stress and a good night’s sleep

So, in the spirit of looking after my microbes (and coming back to you fresh with new ideas), I’m taking a two-week summer break.

And I hope you give yourself one too – rest is vital for a healthy body, a healthy mind, and simply enjoying life.

Wishing you a wonderful summer break, and I’ll be back in your inbox in two weeks,

Emily xx
