Common Symptoms, Uncommon Answers:
How "Gut" Instincts Can Lead to Better Health
Speaker: Jill Carnahan, MD
Gastrointestinal (GI) complaints are one of the most common reasons individuals seek medical care. Unfortunately many suffer silently and believe that their issues are "normal" and proceed to self medicate. Our GI tract is responsible for extracting the appropriate nutrients we need to thrive and maintain an appropriate balance of health. The gut has also been termed "the second brain" because it contains 95% of our body's serotonin. In this talk Dr. Carnahan will explain how our GI system is key to our overall health and how it may secretly play a role in many other issues you may be experiencing.
