The brain-gut-microbiome axis 🌱✨

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or have digestive problems? Did you know that your gut and mental health are closely linked? The two systems influence each other through several mechanisms including the nervous, circulatory, and hormonal systems. This is also one of the reasons why the abdominal brain is called the "second brain" of the human body.

Thomas' Marathon

Do you know Thomas' story? This little fighter was born with a rare condition called cat eye syndrome and dedicated the first moments of his life to several delicate surgeries. Inspired by his little champion and the immensity of the challenges he has overcome, his father, Stéphane, began raising funds in honor of CHU Ste-Justine.

This year, he's taking on a new challenge: participating in the World Marathon Challenge®, an adventure that will lead him through 7 marathons, in 7 days, across 7 continents. His goal? To raise $1,000,000 for CHU St-Justine.

Want to donate? Ekinox commits to doubling* every donation made to support Thomas's father's incredible journey.

*Up to a maximum of $1,500.
