Friendly Gut Bacteria, Nutrition, and the Immune System

Did you know that poor nutrition can destroy your friendly gut bacteria and suppresses your immune system?

 

Join Professor Debra S. Johnson (M.S., BCHN.) for a one-hour webinar exploring the connection between nutrition, gut bacteria, and the immune system. Professor Johnson will explain how processed food can cause inflammation, reduce the immune system’s ability to fight infection, and increase the risk for allergies, auto-inflammatory disease, and even cancer. Professor Johnson will also demystify the crucial role of real foods in achieving optimal health.

 

At the end of the lecture you’ll be able to:

Recall that 80% of our immunity system is found in our gastrointestinal system Explain how the diet causes a shift in your body’s microbiome that affects your health and future generations Explain how processed food damages the gut microbiome Explain how poor nutrition/processed food causes immune system dysfunction
