Thanks to the recent explosion in microbiota research, we are learning that the gut has an immense impact on every system of the body. Understanding the causes of gut dysfunction and microbiotal imbalance is crucial for optimum patient outcomes. After healing the gut, many conditions improve, including hypothyroid, arthritis, pain, fatigue, weight gain, insomnia and IBS.

With the explosion in research also comes a misapplication of the findings in clinical practice. Which studies are relevant for patient care, which need further exploration, and which are simply not useful in creating an effective treatment model?

Keeping up with the research, reviewing the studies, and determining how (or if) their findings apply to your clinical practice could be a full-time job all by itself. The good news is that Dr. Michael Ruscio spends hours a day doing just that, so you don’t have to.

In this special one-day event, Dr. Ruscio will bring his experience with the latest scientific research and the results his patients achieve in his clinic to share this cutting edge information with medical doctors, functional medicine practitioners, registered dieticians, and patients interested in participating in their own care. He will be highlighting preliminary findings from his practice, where two clinical trials in digestive care are currently underway, and distilling his findings into practical advice you can apply with to improve your patients’ results immediately.
