Make a Gutsy Move for Better Health
The gut microbiome is a diverse colony of bacteria that resides in each of us. Emerging research shows these bacteria play a key role in a healthy immune system. They are also associated with conditions such as obesity, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, and a variety of cancers. Yet most of us don’t know much about gut health or what to do to improve it.
In this noontime webinar, you will be introduced to this secret world inside each of us through evidence-based research related to gut health. You will learn how the microbiota within the gut function, including their role in health promotion and disease. We will discuss the difference between prebiotics and probiotics and identify sources in food and supplements. We will also address the role of nutrition in supporting the microbiome and the practical steps you can take now to support your gut health and improve your well-being.
This class will be recorded and a one-week link to the recording will be shared with all registered participants. Attend the live session or listen to the recording within one week to receive incentive points.
