The Microbiome Connection
An estimated 70 million people in the United States are affected by SIBO, IBS, or one of the more than a dozen other diseases linked to digestive health, and 74% of Americans say they live with symptoms of digestive discomfort. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)—the most common gastrointestinal condition in the United States—affects millions of people of all ages. Not only do those who suffer from IBS and its similar, sister diagnosis—small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)—experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits, they may also avoid participating in activities, social events, or travel for fear of having to constantly disappear to the bathroom or the embarrassment of explaining their discomfort.
Explore this essential resource to understanding gut health, the microbiome, and the connection to maintain digestive balance through diet—featuring meal planning guides and sample menus.
Examine the vast inner workings of the “microbiome” (the trillions of bacteria harbored in the gut) has led to groundbreaking advances in human health and well-being. Update your professional knowledge and access to resources necessary to understand their microbiome, IBS and SIBO symptoms, and how to navigate symptom relief.
Empathetically traverse the journey of IBS/SIBO patients from the first diagnosis to the end of treatment; reveal what changes can occur in the body in terms of the underlying physical processes to symptoms that may develop; and share evidence-based management and treatment of those symptoms through dietary changes and drug treatment. Also included are meal plans and sample menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all of which are accompanied by explanations of which foods to eat in moderation and which foods to avoid because they will feed bacteria in the gut and could cause additional symptoms.
A must-have resource for anyone who suffers from IBS or SIBO, or who wants to better understand their microbiome, this course will provide professionals with the knowledge and resources to help clients live a gut-happy and gut-healthy life.
