About this webinar

In this incisive new presentation, Dr. Robert Silverman, DC, leads you through the latest developments in a comprehensive approach to treatment for improved digestive health and overall well-being. Dr. Silverman presents the latest evidence-based research into zonulin/occludin expression and its role in gut permeability, while explaining the role of food sensitivities in the inflammation cascade. He also discusses leading-edge options for accurate blood testing to detect food sensitivities, zonulin/occludin, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and Candida levels, including inflammation. He will also share strategies for interpreting the results. Based on test results, Dr. Silverman draws on his expert knowledge to provide essential supplementation and performance nutrition protocols.

Additionally, Dr. Silverman guides you through the intricate interplay between gut microbiota composition, gut permeability, immune-inflammatory responses, metabolic pathways, and their collective influence on cardiovascular well-being. You’ll come away with a thorough understanding of new functional medicine strategies for supporting gastrointestinal and cardiovascular health.

Join Dr. Silverman as he explains how to incorporate food sensitivity and zonulin testing into your practice quickly.
