July 10th, 2023 @ 12 pm PST
The world just witnessed the devastation brought by a significant virus pandemic. A hyper-belligerent immune system is the primary reason the serious virus we all know about has taken more than 7 million lives as of 2023 and is affecting millions more whose lives are being shattered by the effects of longer term illness from a virus. Over the past 75 years, as humans are living longer, they have been selected to live with more overactive immune systems leading to unfolding epidemics of inflammatory illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, asthma, autism, and depression. Unlocking the signals driving inflammation can lead to the use of effective treatments including existing FDA-approved drugs and gut microbiome modulating agents. Learn how this approach has helped patients with the long term effects of aserious viral infection, myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
*Learn how the Gut Microbiome is a significant contributor to how the challenging virus we all know about and chronic disease manifests.
* Understand the 7 keys to optimal digestive and microbiome health
* Identify how microbial diversity and abundance relates to lower inflammation
*Hear a summary of the latest research on the microbiome
*Discover how to identify your unique microbial fingerprint
*Which nutrition/supplements enhance your microbial health
