Course Title: Gut-Brain Axis Clinical Strategies and Treatment Applications General Schedule: September 21 and 22 from 9am – 5:30pm Instructor: Datis Kharrazian, DC, PhD, DHSc, MS, MMSc, DACNB, DACBN, FACN Location: Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad Beach at 6450 Carlsbad Blvd, Carlsbad CA Course Description This course will provide an extensive literature review of the brain-gut axis, the role of the vagal apparatus, and gastrointestinal cellular messengers that impact the brain. An evidence-based model incorporating diet, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine will be presented. Clinical applications to vagal exercises, diet, nutrition, and laboratory tests will be presented. Learning Objectives: Understand the bi-directional relationships between the gut and the brain Review the brain-gut axis literature Review of clinical diseases associated with the brain-gut axis Understand the clinical concept canalized and non-canalized pathways Learn how to identify disruption of the brain-gut axis with the history and exam Learn diet, nutrition, lifestyle, and neurological exercises to support brain-gut axis dysfunction Learn laboratory markers to assess the gastrointestinal and blood-brain barrier Course Title: Gut-Brain Axis Clinical Strategies and Treatment Applications General Schedule: September 21 and 22 from 9am – 5:30pm Instructor: Datis Kharrazian, DC, PhD, DHSc, MS, MMSc, DACNB, DACBN, FACN Location: Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad Beach at 6450 Carlsbad Blvd, Carlsbad CA Course Description This course will provide an extensive literature review of the brain-gut axis, the role of the vagal apparatus, and gastrointestinal cellular messengers that impact the brain.
