Healthy Gut Masterclass

Did you know that the gut is home to over 70% of the immune system and over 200 million neurons, deeming it the "second brain"? The human microbiome, which consists of trillions of beneficial bacteria, interacts with every organ and system in your body, regulating everything from neurotransmitters to hormones, nutrient production, inflammation, focus and attention, mood, and more. Good gut health plays a critical role in supporting the immune system, protecting the body from infectious diseases, and maintaining the overall health of the entire body.

This four-week masterclass gut health program will give you a comprehensive understanding of the role your gut plays in health and longevity while offering you evidence-based tools to restore and maintain optimal gut health. You’ll also explore how lifestyle factors, including diet, stress, and the consumption of fermented foods, contribute to the balance of beneficial bacteria and overall well-being.

Session begins Feb. 28, 2022, and ends March 28, 2022. Virtual classes take place on Monday evenings. There will be no class on March 21 in observance of Portland Public Schools spring break, but an open Q&A session will be offered that evening.
