Have you ever wondered what the symptoms of an unhealthy gut are? You may be surprised at how much of an impact your gut microbiome health can play a role in your lifestyle, and why having a healthy gut microbiome is crucial for optimal health.
In this live webinar presentation we will talk about the anatomy of the digestive tract, the process of digestion, and some of the common things that can go awry for people who follow the standard American diet.
This webinar will answer some of the common questions including:
• How long does it take for the gut microbiome to recover from a course of antibiotics?
• Are certain antibiotics more or less damaging to our gut?
• What are post-biotics?
• What does the enteric nervous system have to do with them?
• How can we support and encourage the “right” types of bacteria, fungi, and other?
• What kind of diet should we follow in order to support a healthy microbiome?
Laura Woodworth is a Registered Dietitian with a Master’s degree in Nutrition from Bastyr University. She strongly believes in promoting a whole-foods diet and finding balance with moderation when it comes to eating. Following a strict diet doesn’t usually last because it means people have to give up foods they are exposed to everyday. A whole-foods diet is a much broader way to eat, and when we have a deeper understanding of how it benefits us, our world becomes full of possibility instead of restriction. Avoiding processed foods and sugar doesn’t seem so difficult when we know what foods to embrace and why we are doing it.
