Good Gut Fences Make Good Gut Neighbors

Maintaining the integrity of the gut wall is imperative to good – and great health. In the same way that a strong, secure fence between you and your neighbors is critical to your mutual ability to live harmoniously, so too is a strong, well-functioning gut barrier. In this presentation, gastroenterologist Shaffer Mok will cover the wide spectrum factors that influence the gut microbiome and precarious integrity of the mucosal lining between the G.I. tract and the bloodstream. In a world full of G.I. antagonists, Dr. Mok offers a realistic plan for harmonious living with your gut neighbors.
