Let’s Talk Mental Health
Join Microbiome Labs on Thursday, September 30th, 2021, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. EST as we present the second installment of our interactive "Mini-Microbiome Keynotes" lecture series for Integrative Health Practitioners.
Join the Microbiome Labs Founders
This is a remarkable opportunity to learn from and interact with Microbiome Labs' founders Kiran Krishnan and Tom Bayne and lead product developer Aicacia Young. They will present "The Gut-Brain Axis, A Scientific Approach to Finding Emotional Peace." The gut-brain axis is the bidirectional link between intestinal health and mood. This lecture will discuss manipulating this system to support emotional well-being and the benefits of using probiotics for support, particularly a clinically validated probiotic strain, B. longum 1714.
