More Disease Begins in the Gut: Surprising Sources

Hi!

Although you may already be a savvy practitioner, I am certain you will learn something new in this video about More Disease Begins in the Gut: Surprising Sources. You’ll walk away with pages of notes and practical pearls you can use in your practice right away.

Here are some of the things we’ll be discussing:

  • It’s tough to pronounce, but it’s the key to a lot of dysfunction.
  • What’s in a name?  “Normal” bowel movements. The questions you aren’t asking could be full of insights!
  • Stop the geek speak!  Explain gut dysfunction with Las Vegas, Bob & Fred, dry sponges, fast drains, and pantyhose. Be unforgettable.
  • Bullies on the playground?  They’re still our kids!  We usually just need better supervision, not to expel them.
  • Lowly bile? Actually it matters more than most practitioners ever imagine.
  • Immune function in the gut goes way beyond what you might expect.
  • Devil in the Rx?  Yes, including some surprising sources of dis-ease in the gut.
  • The #1 part of gut function (and boy is it boring!) that practitioners forget to address.  And it often makes All the difference in sustained healing.

    they understand! I love to learn that is for sure but to learn how to help people to learn in the best way possible so that

    Thank you for this great webinar. As a research librarian and coach, I can attest that there is an explosion of research on leaky gut now. It is great to see the connection of the vagus nerve and rest and digest to our system. Could you share more on insulin regulation and IF in regards to this?

    Aviva Janofsky says:

    This entire talk was fantastic! Thank you. What stood out most in my mind is the absolute importance of creating optimal digestion, motility, absorption, metabolism and excretion because all of the catastrophes that can occur when this is not happening. The importance of educating why this is important. Thank you Tracy I enjoyed this.

    I loved the mention of the vagus nerve and the
    Importance of slowing down, rest & digest and the
    concept of how much our thoughts matter when it comes to our
    gut. I was also inspired by how suboptimal thyroid
    function can cause leaky gut.
