Learning Objectives:

• Gain a comprehensive overview of gut microbiome testing and its utility in practice.
• Learn the rationale for incorporating complementary methodologies (PCR-based, culture-based/proteomic, and susceptibility testing) in the evaluation of gastrointestinal microbes, including their advantages and limitations
• Understand the focused evaluation of the microbiome, including dysbiosis, diversity keystone bacteria and more, in a clinical context.
• Acquire practical advice on the stool sample collection process, understand the importance of PCR testing's sensitivity for accurate results, and learn tips for follow-up testing.

What is the best diet for overall health? Is it vegan, ketogenic, carnivore, Mediterranean, or something else entirely? While this debate has been ongoing for decades, emerging research is shedding light on how diet influences the body-particularly through its impact on the gut microbiome.

With advancements in science, practitioners can now assess how different diets affect gut health, metabolism, and immune function. Understanding these connections is essential for guiding patients toward informed nutritional choices that support long-term well-being.

In this session, Dr. Julia Malkowski, ND, DC, BSc, a naturopathic and chiropractic physician with expertise in functional medicine, will explore real-world case studies demonstrating how various dietary patterns shape the gut microbiome and overall health. Key biomarkers related to microbiome balance, inflammation, and metabolic function will be examined, providing actionable insights for clinical practice.

Learning Objectives:

• How different diets influence the gut microbiome and overall health
• Key biomarkers that provide insight into microbiome diversity, inflammation, and metabolic function
• How to use personalized assessments to guide nutrition recommendations
• Case studies illustrating the impact of diet on digestion, immunity, and well-being
