Did you know that your gut and brain talk to each other all day long? You might not know it, but your gut does more than digest food. It plays a huge role in how you think, feel, sleep, and manage stress.
The gut and brain are connected through the gut-brain axis. It’s a network that sends signals back and forth. When it’s working smoothly, you’re more likely to feel clear-headed, energized, and in a good mood. When they fall out of sync, you might notice things like an upset stomach, low energy, and trouble focusing.
Check out some simple habits below and in this flier that can help keep your gut and brain working like a team!

Join us at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 8, to hear from Jim Donald, former CEO of Starbucks, as he shares his insights on leading through change.
Donald will move beyond business theory to discuss the human element in a conversation he calls, “What They Don’t Teach You in Business School: Real-World Leadership for the Future.” This free event in Canyon Commons offers a masterclass in the human element of industry.
Donald will provide the “missing link” between classroom theory and the grit of “front-line” leadership – lessons he learned directly from legendary figures like Sam Walton, founder of Walmart. He will deep dive into an “old-school” playbook that validates the daily professional challenges of the modern age through the lens of a servant-leadership model.
Donald is a world-class executive and “Turnaround King” with a storied 50-year career in the retail and service industries. Recognized by the Best Practice Institute as one of the “Top 25 CEOs in the World,” he has held the top leadership mantle at some of the most recognizable brands in the world, including Starbucks, Albertsons, and Extended Stay Hotels.
For more information, contact Carly Reumann creumann@georgefox.edu.

Are you interested in or working on a topic related to Quaker pedagogy? This year’s Friends Association for Higher Education conference, to be held June 8-11 at William Penn University in Oskaloosa, Iowa, invites presenters from across the academic disciplines to consider whether there is a uniquely Quaker approach to higher education that offers value to the wider body of academia.
Under this umbrella, presenters are encouraged to share the research and work they do with students that undergirds this sense of a uniquely Quaker approach to the instruction within higher education.
The full call with additional background and guiding queries is available at this link. If you have any questions, contact Jay Miller, George Fox’s representative to FAHE, at jaym@georgefox.edu.
