 GUT-BRAIN INSTITUTE
Education and growth for professionals, teams and client support advancing gut-brain + nervous system foundations for greater wellness impact
Our Approach
At the Buddha Belly Gut-Brain Institute, we believe foundational wellness education should connect the whole picture—not isolate the gut, brain, nervous system, and daily lifestyle.
Our approach brings together holistic gut health—including nutrition, sleep, hydration, low-tox living, and foundational supplementation—with brain-based education and nervous system support, including awareness, neuro-integration, somatic practices, breathwork, hot/cold therapies, and meaningful community connection.
This integrated framework shapes how we educate individuals, train professionals, and equip wellness teams to bring credible, practical wellness education into their own lives, client work, classes, and communities.
Buddha Belly Life™ is our client-facing application of this approach, providing structured gut-brain and nervous system education, tools, and support for everyday wellness.
All Institute content is educational in nature and is not a substitute for medical care, diagnosis, treatment, or mental health therapy.
Advancing Professional Impact through Gut-Brain + Nervous System Education, Support & Growth. For Professionals, Wellness Teams + the Individuals They Serve.

Hey I'm Coach Britt
Carrie Chojnowski CHC (Thrive 4 Life Holistic Health)
For me, empowering healing is personal!
My anxiety started at age 6 and turned into panic attacks by age 8, later adding to fertility challenges, brain function issues and a belief that life would always just be HARD for me. And that's when I discovered holistic Gut-Brain health, took a deeper dive into nervous system function and trauma in my later years and not only did I start to heal, I started stepping into a new version of my life. I don't believe that we are given any obstacle so that we simply just suffer. I believe that we are also given a way to heal, and when we seek this process, we'll gain the spiritual muscle to contribute great purpose to the world from that pain. At HWCA I get to invest in people with a story and a passion to use their stories to help others and there's nothing more fulfilling.
LOVE,Â
Coach Britt [Founding Educator HWCA]

Learn how to balance the gut-brain axis and become a Buddha Belly trained health coach or certified facility
Your Gut microboime is responsible for nerurotransmitter production, immune system activity, nutrient absorption and the brain's "feel good hormones." Holistic gut work is a powerful part of the restoration process. As a Buddha Belly trained coach, you'll get the education and application skills to take clients, teach classes and even start or grow your own coaching practice.

Learn personal practices for restoring your gut and regulating the nervous system
Your nervous system responds to stress and it can also instigate it. After chronic stress, traumatic experiences and even environmental toxin exposure, the nervous system can actually get "stuck" making it hard to regulate, calm, find energy and even think clearly. Regulation practices will be a tool you'll be able to use for the rest of your life, building resilience in any situation.
