Learn the skills behind personalised gut restoration
When you complete this certification, you’ll be trained to assess digestive-health risks, identify potential dietary and lifestyle contributors, and build personalised gut restoration strategies while recognising when medical input is needed.
- Gain advanced knowledge about the science behind intestinal hyper-permeability (a “leaky gut”), whether it is the cause of a number of gut conditions, and what your client can do to help repair the gut lining.
- Understand the impact of food choices, alcohol, medications, physical activity, and stress levels on gut health.
- Perform health risk assessments to evaluate levels of gut discomfort, whether certain foods such as high-fat, high-sugar, high-salt, processed, gluten-containing foods may be exacerbating gut symptoms.
- Work with medical doctors to help your client reduce symptoms of gut conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
- Evaluate factors which may be contributing to gut imbalance and dysbiosis, including genetics and hormonal changes.
- Understand that our genetic make—up may play a role in our gut health, but that daily choices have a larger influence.
- Build a personalised 4-step gut restoration program, considering an individual’s own triggers to remove excesses, replace losses, repopulate the gut, and repair damage.
- Build a personalised nutritional program in order to help keep your client’s gut discomfort levels at a minimum and their gut microbiome in balance.
- Track your client´s progress over time, including gut discomfort, gut symptoms before and after removing potentially problem foods such as gluten, lactose, alcohol, and those high in fat or sugars.
