Overview:
The gastrointestinal system is interconnected with the entire human body. So much of what happens in the gut impacts the rest of the body. Indeed, the gut is the very core of health; in some cultures, it’s even called “the honored middle”. No matter what health outcome you desire, it’s a sure bet the gut must be functioning properly to achieve the desired outcomes. 

From digestive disorders and intestinal dysbiosis to intestinal permeability and allergens, gut dysfunction compromises a patient’s health and diminishes vitality. It makes sense, then why it’s often the first place to start improving overall health. While this is a nutrition-focused course, it’s definitely more than simply recommending more fiber and probiotic-containing foods.

This advanced course will supply you with the background, insight, and in-depth clinical thinking to confidently assess and treat patients who may present with conditions, signs, and symptoms indicative of gastrointestinal dysfunction and microbiome imbalance. We will discuss in detail the important laboratory evaluations often utilized by functional practitioners, the appropriate clinical connections, and effective evidence-based diet and natural support approaches you’ll need to help your clients regain optimal health and vitality.

Objectives:
After completion of this course, learners will be able to:

• Evaluate the relationship between systemic disease and gastrointestinal dysfunction
