Gut–Brain Axis in Metabolism and Stress:
From Obesity to Inflammation

Description

The gut–brain axis plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism and stress, with profound implications for conditions like obesity, chronic inflammation, and related metabolic disorders. However, many healthcare professionals, particularly those in physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, nursing, and social work, may not fully understand how the gut microbiome impacts overall health or how it can be leveraged to improve patient outcomes.

This webinar will provide an introduction to the gut–brain axis and its influence on metabolic and stress-related conditions, shedding light on how dysfunction in this system can contribute to obesity, inflammation, and related diseases. Attendees will learn how emerging research links gut health to these issues and gain practical insights into incorporating this knowledge into treatment plans. Healthcare professionals will also explore strategies for addressing gut–brain health in an interdisciplinary setting, ultimately enhancing patient care. This session is ideal for practitioners in clinical settings, from hospitals to outpatient practices, looking to broaden their understanding of this emerging field and its impact on holistic patient management. Don’t miss out—gain valuable knowledge that can transform your approach to treating metabolic disorders and stress-related conditions.
