Hi. I am really interested in further study in Gut Health / Nutrition and mental health. I have read Michael’s book and the changes I have made to my diet have massively helped long term problems with IBS and also improved my mental health. i am a clinical psychologist and would like to train further in this area in order to incorporate with my therapeutic clinical practice. Does anyone know where I could start looking for training in this area? Thanks. Sarah
