About Us

Gutsy Minds is a youth-led initiative and community that brings awareness to the powerful connection between gut health and mental well-being. We aim to educate and inspire high schoolers to take charge of their health-starting from the inside out. Gut health is often overlooked, but it plays a key role in how we think, feel, and function every day. Through engaging content, real talk, and science-backed tips, Gutsy Minds helps you fuel both your brain and your belly- because when your gut is happy, your mind is too.

Meet the Founder

Hi there! My name is Shriya Aviur and I'm a junior in high school. I am extremely passionate about health and neuroscience and have always been intrigued by the direct correlation between the foods we consume, or in other words, our gut health and how it affects our mental health and well-being. I started Gutsy Minds because most teenagers don't realize the importance of the role our gut plays when it comes to stress, sleep, anxiety, and so much more. Remember, a happy gut means a happy mind! Let's take care of our mental health from the inside out.

Mission

To build a student-led, youth-centric movement that promotes awareness of the brain-gut connection by creating school chapters, sharing knowledge on social media, and partnering with doctors and researchers to inspire healthier minds and bodies.

Vision

Turn curiosity into action by creating a worldwide youth-led network that drives gut and mental health positivity across schools and communities. We aspire to instill healthier habits and build a generation that values wellness, curiosity, and positive change.
