Learning Objectives: 

• Define the gut microbiome and its role in digestion, the immune system, and overall health.
• Identify shared bacterial species commonly found in the gum and gut.
• Discuss the potential link between Gum bacteria and “Leaky Gut Syndrome”.
• List strategies to improve

In contemporary times, there is a growing awareness of the gut microbiome and its profound influence on a wide range of health conditions, including obesity, inflammation, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, allergies, mental health, and neurological disorders. However, an intriguing question arises: How might these microbial species be influenced by gum bacteria?
This course will equip you with a deeper understanding of the shared bacterial species between the gut and gum, including those from gum disease, and how they could potentially contribute to gut leaky syndrome. You will also learn practical recommendations to optimize gut health based on individual dietary and lifestyle choices.
