A healthy gut supports both Body and Brain. Discover which health resorts offer specialised programmes for gut healing, detox and balance.

Gut Health: The Foundation of Energy and Recovery

26 December 2025

Awareness around gut health continues to increase. Research and clinical practice show how deeply the gut is connected to the rest of the body, including brain function. Digestion is only one part of the story. The gut influences immune response, hormonal balance, energy and mental state. When gut balance is disturbed, symptoms often appear that are hard to trace to a single cause. These may include low energy, digestive issues or difficulty focusing. When the gut is in balance, the body tends to function more efficiently, both physically and mentally. In this blog, we explore what defines healthy gut function, why it matters, and where to find specialised programmes that focus on restoring and supporting gut health.
