Course Description:

Dysbiosis is often found in the G.I. tract and is often a core reason for a patient's health issues. Consequences of dysbiosis may have far-reaching effects beyond the GI tract, as biofilms and endotoxins from pathogens can cause a cascade of inflammation and systemic complications.

Botanical medicine is effective against biofilms, including those commonly found in the oral cavity. In this webinar, Dr Wisniewski covers research and clinical applications of botanicals and nutritional medicine.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify the elements of SIBO, as well as causes and treatment.
  • Describe and analyze signs of inflammation and pain from a leaky gut.
  • Recognize ways of restoring GI balance with botanicals.
  • Identify different forms of Spore Forming Probiotics and their advantages and indications.
