  The gut microbiome is a community of microorganisms in our gut that plays a major role in our health and is recently being promoted as a new organ in our bodies.
  

  Clinical studies have clearly established the microbiota's essential role in preserving our physical and mental health. It is now established that there is a direct link between the gut microbiome and the immune system, auto immune conditions, food sensitivities, skin outbreaks and mood disorders to name a few.
  In this presentation we will define the microbiota, understand its role and disclose the main lifestyle and nutrition habits that endanger or promote its proliferation and presence in our digestive tract.

  Cost: 25 CHF Members/35 CHF Non-Members.
