About this session
The digestive system does much more than process food. It supports nutrient absorption, immune function and communication with the nervous system, while the gut microbiome refers to the community of microorganisms living primarily in the large intestine.
Gut health can be influenced by diet, fiber intake, stress, sleep, alcohol, medication, illness and physical activity.
Symptoms such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea or reflux are common, but they can have many different causes and should not automatically be blamed on the microbiome.
This session explores the relationship between digestion, the microbiome and everyday performance.
Attendees learn what genuinely supports gut health, how to make sense of common symptoms and when persistent problems need professional assessment rather than more self-experimentation.
