Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a well known functional gut disorder that impacts more than 11% of the population worldwide. There is undeniable evidence that IBS not only impacts the gut, but also the brain, as there is significant overlap between IBS and mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. This webinar will take a deep dive into the gut-microbiota-brain axis and how gastrointestinal and mental health is impacted when this connection falls out of balance. It will also address the combination of nutritional and yoga interventions for IBS and how the two may work together as a stronger force in treating this common, yet significantly life-impacting condition.

Measuring & Improving Metabolic Health to Prevent or Reverse Disease
November 17th 2022 at 2:00 PM EST
Dr. Tom Rifai MD FACP
1.0 CPEU for RDNs & NDTRs
Improving metabolic health drives up odds of lifespan, health-span and disease-free living. In this webinar we explore practical but precise ways to measure it in clinical practice. We will also discuss assessing a metabolic health patient’s/client’s readiness for change, how to manage different levels of readiness for change, and the five domains (“5 Keys”) of knowledge and skills necessary to increase the odds of maintaining a transformational lifestyle change: psychology, nutrition, physical activity, environments, and accountability. Upon completion, clinicians will be comfortable in assessing readiness for change to manage and allocate their professional, mental and emotional energy better for self-preservation, as well as be more confident via having a lifestyle change system (5 keys) from which to work and increasing the odds of successful coaching of patients ready to pursue transformational lifestyle change.

Intestinal hyperpermeability (leaky gut) contributes to poor health outcomes. Maintaining and restoring the gut barrier is a potential target for preventing and treating a variety of diseases. However, there are tremendous inconsistencies in how practitioners address leaky gut in practice. This webinar discusses key functions of the gut barrier, the health consequences of an
impaired gut barrier, and the potential impact of dietary and lifestyle factors on the gut barrier integrity and function.
