RecordedGo Beyond What You Know About Gut Health
Our gut microbiome is made up of hundreds and thousands of micro organisms that live in our digestive track and interact with our body’s various processes, thus impacting our overall health. All the way from digestion to immune function, these tiny mirco organisms play a big role, even going beyond the gut itself. This particular course will help you in understanding how these microbiomes are beneficial, what they do, how they interact with each other, how the gut’s environment shapes them, and how various factors like diet, stress, medication and lifestyle choices can impact the quality and balance of our gut microbiomes.

- Find out what affects your gut health: See how what you eat, how you live, what you take and where you live can affect the bacteria in your gut.

Why this course
is important
- Gut health is more than just digestion. The microbiome has interactions with a number of systems in the body and is still a major area of ongoing research.
- The gut microbiome can be affected by diet, health history, medications and individual differences.
- Microbiome understanding can provide useful context, but symptoms still need to be considered as part of the larger clinical picture.
- Microbiome testing needs to be interpreted with care. A test result will not automatically explain why a person has symptoms or what treatment they need.
- With so much gut health product and claim information out there, understanding the science can help professionals separate the established science from other areas that can be invalid or fake.
Where it leads
When you have a strong and thorough understanding of how microbiomes work and what their impact is on our gut and entire body, then it can help you better understand the reasons behind different gut health management approaches and why they are used. You can also make more informed decisions regarding diet and fitness, and spread awareness amongst your clients and patients. For those who want to specialise in this particular field even more, this course can provide everything you need in order to understand the science behind our gut microbiome and the rest of our body.
