Join us for this informative guest lecture by Naturopathic Doctors Holly German and Lorraine Caron.
Want to understand how your gut health affects your whole health? Your skin, your brain, your metabolism, your immune system, your hormones, and your mood?
Expand your knowledge of the underlying causes of gut dysfunction, including microbiome disruptors, 'leaky gut,' and environmental influences, and get clear on next steps you can take to support your gut health; and learn natural ways to help bring your digestive system back into balance.
This class is ideal for you if:
You want to get to the root cause of your health concerns
You struggle with digestive disorders, persistent fatigue, mood challenges, less-than-radiant skin, and fuzzy cognition
You eat well enough and live a healthy lifestyle but still don't feel *great*
You would like to learn how to improve your gut health with natural medicine
You are the caregiver of a child(ren) with frequent tummy troubles
Participants will leave with samples to support their health.
