Address your challenges and implement practical coping strategies

Enhance your emotional well-being from a psychological perspective 

Navigate your cycle with more self-compassion

We live in a culture that celebrates productivity, discipline and constant optimisation. When our energy drops, our focus fades, or stress builds up, we’re told to improve our routines, strengthen our mindset, or simply try harder. But sustainable performance doesn’t start with willpower: it starts with biology. Research increasingly shows that our gut plays a central role in energy production, mental clarity, stress regulation and recovery, yet this powerful system is often overlooked in conversations about performance.

In this masterclass, Prof. Dr. Iris Sommer – psychiatrist, neuroscientist and expert in the gut–brain connection – guides us through the science behind gut health and sustainable performance, and explains how our biology shapes the way we think, feel and function.

In this masterclass, you’ll learn:

Why performance is biological before it is psychological

How gut health influences energy, focus and stress resilience

Practical strategies to support recovery and long-term sustainable performance
