Gut Feelings: A Panel on the Gut-Brain Connection
Your stomach tightens before a big meeting. Stress leaves you bloated for days. You’re told your tests look “normal,” but you still don’t feel right. Your gut and your brain are in constant conversation — so what happens when something gets lost in translation?
Join us at Parsley Health’s beautiful downtown space for Gut Feelings: an intimate evening exploring the connection between your digestive health, mental health, and nervous system.
We’re bringing together experts across functional medicine, psychotherapy, and nutrition to unpack how your mind influences your gut, and why very real digestive symptoms affect the way you think, feel, eat, socialize, and move through the world.
In conversation with:
Dr. Sharagim Kemp, clinician at Parsley Health, bringing a functional medicine lens to gut health
Nandini Malhotra, therapist at Our Kind Therapy, specializing in the mind-body connection and chronic illness
Dr. Sarah Khan, functional nutritionist focused on root-cause, whole-person healing
Ankita, founder of Khalo, who'll be moderating the conversation and co-curating the food and community for the night
Come after work, mingle with a room of health-conscious, curious people, enjoy healthy bites, and N/A drinks, and listen in on a real conversation about how our minds and bodies are more connected than we think.
Panel conversation topic:
The gut-brain connection and why your stomach reacts before your mind does
The real difference between IBS, IBD, and everyday digestive distress
How stress, emotion, and culture shape the way we digest
Where nutrition, therapy, and lifestyle meet
Presented by: Our Kind Therapy in partnership with Parsley Health and Khalo.
Drinks sponsored by: Sober in Central Park
