Mini-series
Fully online
A multi-module series with expert integrative faculty
Three modules on microbiome science, from the gut’s connections to other organs to clinical protocols you can use with patients.
Fully online, self-paced · 3 modules · 2.75 CME hours · 9 faculty · $99 for the full series
A foundational, multi-module journey through microbiome science — from gut–organ crosstalk and the spectrum of biotics to the gut–liver–heart axis, the gut–brain connection, women’s microbiome health, and real-world clinical application.
Each module builds on the one before it. Module I covers the core science, Module II looks at how the gut affects other organ systems, and Module III applies both to clinical cases. Learn on your own schedule, entirely online.
Modules
Start with the science, follow it through the body, then apply it in clinical practice.
Module I
The scientific baseline
0.75 CME hoursThis module sets the scientific baseline, covering gut microbial ecology, host–microbe interactions, barrier integrity, LPS/metabolic endotoxemia, and the full spectrum of biotics (prebiotics, probiotics, spores, commensals, keystone species, and postbiotics).
Speakers
Jeannie Achuff, ND
Sarah Katrenak, CNS
Module II
Systems and axes
2 CME hoursThis module takes a deep dive into how the gut communicates across organ systems, with a focus on cardiometabolic health, neurological function, and women’s health.
Speakers
Sam Madeira, ND
Jenny Olson, MNT, BCHN
Eamonn Quigley, MD
Elizabeth Wade, ND
Module III
Clinical applications
Non-CMEThis module translates the science into real-world clinical protocols, including practical case studies with an emphasis on women’s health applications.
Speakers
