Andrea McBeth ND - Re-thinking Immune Health Through a Microbiome Lens (1 General CE Credit)

2022 Thaena Microbiome Symposium - The Rise of Postbiotics: The Roles they Play in in immunology and women's health.

DESCRIPTION

The human microbiome is turning out to be an incredibly important organ system. As we have begun to uncover some of the secrets of this microscope world within us, the immune system is proving to be a crucial bridge between what the microbes do and their impact on our physiology. In this talk I will overview some basic information about the microbiome. We will then deep dive into the microbiome and its relationship to the immune system and other end organs it impacts including the liver and the brain. 

 

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  1. Describe microbial ecosystems.
  2. Discuss how the gut microbiome impacts the immune system.
  3. Discuss how the gut microbiome impacts the liver and brain.
  4. List some essential microbial metabolites for the immune system.
