The Autism Microbiome: Making the Gut‑Brain Connection with GI‑MAP

This webinar is now available on demand in our Resource Library: The Autism Microbiome: Making the Gut‑Brain Connection with GI‑MAP

Join Greer McGuinness, MS, RD, CDN, CLT, on April 17 at 2 PM ET as she discusses the autism microbiome and how practitioners can use advanced stool testing to target treatment.

In an age where environmental and dietary factors are more influential than ever, it's crucial to examine the ways in which toxins are affecting the development and health of children's brains, as well as to explore viable strategies for healing and detoxification through functional medicine.

In this presentation, Greer will delve into the intricate relationship between dietary habits and microbiome alterations, their effects on children's health and brain development, and the emerging data observed in the autism microbiome.

Attendees will learn:

• How changes in our food industry and nutrition over the years have significantly altered the gut microbiome, setting the stage for various health implications, specifically in children
• How food choices impact a child's microbiome and brain development through the gut-brain axis
• The trends observed within the microbiomes of children with autism
• How GI-MAP™ testing provides insight into the autism microbiome, allowing practitioners to create tailored interventions and lifestyle adjustments to positively influence the gut microbiome
