Neuronal & immunologic influences on the G.I tract: Tapping “the gut brain” for functional digestive support^‡

Digestive health depends on many factors, including microbial climate, enzyme activity, mucosal integrity, immunity, motility and cytokine activity. Two interacting factors that can be difficult to address in integrative practice are motility and cytokine activity, both of which can affect abdominal comfort, bowel function and quality of life. Motility and sensations are regulated by the “gut brain,” a network of neurons embedded in the lining of the digestive tract. In this webinar, find out how to support this complex system in the stomach, small intestine and colon by maintaining neurotransmission and moderating cytokine signaling. Carl Hangee-Bauer, N.D., LAc, is a founding member and past president of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP) and the California Naturopathic Doctors Association (CNDA). In 1989, he founded San Francisco Natural Medicine, where he continues to practice today. In this webinar, Dr. Hangee-Bauer will draw from over 3 decades of clinical experience to present nutritional strategies that address the neuronal and immunologic basis of gut health.^‡
