Gut–Brain Axis and Diet: How Nutrition Shape
s Brain Health and the Microbiome

Description

The connection between the gut–brain axis and brain health is one of the most groundbreaking discoveries in recent neuroscience, influencing everything from cognitive function to mood regulation. Yet many clinicians are unaware of how dietary habits and the timing of meals can shape the gut microbiome, impacting brain health and patient outcomes. This knowledge gap means that many patients are missing out on easy-to-implement strategies that could significantly improve their well-being.

In this essential webinar, you’ll learn how dietary choices—what to avoid and when to eat—can influence brain function and mental health. This knowledge will empower you to guide patients in making healthier decisions that can support cognitive function, mood, and overall brain health, especially for those dealing with stress or neurodegenerative conditions.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to gain practical, research-backed strategies that you can immediately incorporate into your practice. Whether you’re a physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist, nurse, or social worker, this webinar will equip you with the tools to make a real difference in your patients’ lives.
