🧬 Microbiome: What Every Patient Should Know

---

This webinar offers a practical introduction to the diverse microbes living in your gut, skin, mouth, and vagina—and why they matter for digestion, immunity, hormones, and brain health. Learn how imbalances can contribute to fatigue, gut issues, infections, and skin or mood symptoms, and how factors like diet, stress, medications, and aging influence microbial health. We’ll explore how food, supplements, and selective testing impact the microbiome, when probiotics may help, and why staying current with evolving science is essential. You'll also get tips on choosing a knowledgeable practitioner—and have the chance to ask your own questions during a live expert Q&A.
