Healthy people create healthy communities. When you address the health of people in your community, you address budget issues, volunteering issues, economic issues, and all other community issues. The brain/gut connection is a rural development connection.   

People's body and brain are one sophisticated interlocking system. There is no real separation between your brain and your body. What you do to your body, you do to your brain. Heal your body and you heal your brain.  

The way to do that is to eliminate what is sending your key systems out of balance and provide your body (and brain) with what it needs to thrive once again.  

What steps can your community take to help the health of your citizens?
