Gut Infections in Clinical Practice | October 11, 2023

Would you like to learn how to properly detect, evaluate and resolve gut infections in your clinical practice?

On Wednesday October 11, Brett Hawes dove into how to use functional lab testing and holistic nutrition to help your clients overcome gut infections. Recent advances in our understanding of the microbiome have led to innovative new testing methods to uncover acute and chronic infections as well as a variety of dysbiotic scenarios. This, combined with age-old food and supplement remedies, means practitioners now have the ability to resolve even the most stubborn and complex gut infections.

You Will Learn:
- Symptom patterns for various infections
- Challenges with lab testing
- What lab tests to use and when (these are lab tests that are available to nutritionists)
- Biofilms – the 5 stages of development and how they contribute to chronic infections
- How to use antimicrobials, prebiotics, and probiotics
