Functional Nutrition Approaches to Gut Health is a comprehensive, self-study curriculum designed to equip practitioners with the knowledge to identify root causes of patients’ digestive symptoms and will provide the insight necessary to choose appropriate strategies for resolving GI issues and promote optimal gut health through nutrition and lifestyle-based interventions.   

This convenient, on-demand format is designed to allow busy healthcare practitioners to work at their own pace. Created and presented by experts in functional nutrition including MDs, NDs, and Doctorate and Master’s level RDNs, practitioners receive the resources, guidance, and support that make evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and resolution of gastrointestinal disorders less complicated and more effective!

 


Modules include expert-led presentations with accompanying clinical fact sheets (FYIs), reference charts, and cover prevalent GI disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, Crohn’s disease, dysbiosis, GERD, FODMAP intolerance, impaired gut permeability, the gut immune system, and adverse food reactions.  Overview of the gut-brain axis provides an important foundation for exploring the association between the gut microbiome and brain function, the stress response on mental health and GI function, and the exquisite communication between the GI system and the nervous system.

Practical guidelines for testing and identifying causes of GI dysfunction and 5R protocols to resolve issues and restore GI function and health are included in each “What Can Go Wrong” module.

Enrollees receive a complimentary copy of Immunology IV, by Joseph A. Bellanti, MD.
