More than 40% of the global population have functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs)1 and in Australia, 1 in 4 adults and 20.6% of children are diagnosed with Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD),2,10,12 with an exponential increase in burden of disease predicted. MAFLD is likely to become the leading global indication for liver transplantation within the next decade11 with an anticipated increase of 85% by 2030.

These alarming statistics highlight a significant shortfall in integrative gastrointestinal (GI) care specialists.

Join leading NEM experts in this on-demand learning module (released 31 March 2022) to learn:

  • How to conduct a microbiota assessment 
  • How to interpret pathology testing and other investigations 
  • Protocol and prescribing explanations

Also included: 

  • downloadable PDF of presenter’s slides, clinical handouts and support materials 
  • evidence-based research summary including links to referenced research papers 
  • Case study discussion and clinical gems from leading GIT health experts 

Learning outcomes: 

  1. Evaluate treatment strategies for complex digestive disorders  
  2. Evaluate treatment strategies for infectious gastrointestinal conditions 
  3. Summarise evidence-based lifestyle interventions that can assist in the management of symptoms associated with gastrointestinal disorders. 
  4. Design a comprehensive management plan using probiotic, prebiotics, synbiotics and colonic foods for disorders of the digestive system

It’s time to implement sustainable health practices that reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal illness.

Did you know, environmental changes are leading causes of GI health conditions?

  • PM (2.5) after extreme weather events – Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)3,4
  • Endocrine-disrupting chemical exposure and NAFLD3,4
  • Trauma-related disorders – gut microbiome5
  • Post viral COVID-19 infection (IBS, Dyspepsia and microbiota)6,7
  • Long-term environmental exposure to micro and nanoplastics – microbiota and digestive enzymes8
