The microbiome wields a significant amount of influence over our health, impacting the immune system, the brain, the endocrine system, nutrient production, and more. As both a potential disease origin and the largest therapeutic center for the human body, understanding the microbiome can have significant implications on practitioners' clinical care approaches.

This two-day course will provide a comprehensive deep dive into the gut microbiome by first establishing the microbiome's connection to health and disease, examining the common environmental and genetic factors that lead to an unhealthy microbiome, and finally delivering targeted solutions to improve patients' health.

Objectives

  • Discuss how the microbiome controls the immune system, the brain, the endocrine system, and the body's nutrient production – the critical cross-talk between microbe and host.
  • List how these bi-directional communications may be the root cause of illness in chronically ill patients.
