The Role of the Gut Microbiome in Brain Health
Video Coming Soon
About this class

​Research suggests that the gut may influence brain function through a complex communication network known as the gut-brain axis, which includes both physical and chemical pathways. The gut microbiome appears to play a key role in this connection, and imbalances in microbial communities have been associated with a range of mental and neurological conditions, including mood disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.

​In this webinar, Dr. Lisa Pomeroy, ND - a traditional naturopath and Certified Microbiome Analyst with experience in functional lab testing - will discuss how gut microbes may influence brain health and highlight select findings from the GI-MAP test that have been linked in the literature to brain-related outcomes.

What You’ll Learn

  • ​Understand key concepts of the gut-brain axis
  • ​Explore how substances produced by gut microbes may influence the brain
  • ​Review microbes on the GI-MAP test that research has associated with brain health
  • ​Discuss microbial patterns reported in the literature in relation to conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, depression, anxiety, and migraines

​This class is designed for health practitioners interested in exploring the relationship between the microbiome and brain health from a research-informed perspective.
