Implications for Personalized Therapies
Digestive insufficiency involving reduced production and secretion of stomach acid, digestive enzymes and/or bile acids is commonly encountered in clinical practice. Numerous symptoms and conditions have been attributed to digestive insufficiency, which in turn often results in gut microbial imbalances. With the GI-Map Test, practitioners can gain important insights into digestive insufficiency and related dysbiosis patterns, which facilitate the development of targeted, personalized approaches to improving symptoms and underlying imbalances.
In this webinar, practitioners will learn:
- How hypochlorhydria, digestive enzyme insufficiency, and bile acid insufficiency affect the gut microbiome
- How the gut microbiome affects digestive function
- How to recognize common microbial patterns reflecting digestive insufficiencies with GI-MAP
- Implications for personalized therapeutic approaches
