Gut-Brain Psychology & Nutrition

Where Mind and Gut Meet

Paige Linegar is a registered Psychologist and Nutritionist offering psychology in Brookvale through a uniquely holistic, gut-brain lens. Rather than separating mind from body, Paige treats the gut and nervous system as one connected feedback system, using psychological techniques such as hypnosis and somatic therapy alongside nutritional medicine to get to the root cause of each client’s concerns.

She supports clients navigating IBS, bloating and digestive issues, anxiety, burnout, hormonal mood shifts, low energy, brain fog and injury recovery, with a toolkit that’s wide-ranging, evidence-informed and tailored to the individual.

How This Approach Views Health

Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, this approach looks at the full picture: history, stress, sleep, nutrition and gut health, together with what’s happening emotionally. Two people with the same low mood or the same restlessness may need very different support, depending on what’s underlying it. Working with the gut-brain axis as a framework means looking at how the gut influences the brain, and the brain the gut, rather than treating them as separate problems.

An Integrated Approach

 

Many clients come in with scattered focus, restlessness, or a nervous system that struggles to settle under pressure. This may show up as ADHD-type symptoms, chronic stress, or the sense of running on empty after a big transition or burnout. Sessions focus on calming and regulating the nervous system, using somatic tools alongside nutritional support to shift the body out of a stress response and into repair.

Support is also offered for low mood, hormonal shifts across the menstrual cycle and perimenopause, and weight fluctuations tied to stress, gut health and hormones. Available via telehealth or in person.
