How Your Gut Affects Your Brain — Join Our Upcoming Seminar
Did you know that your gut health can affect your brain?
This upcoming seminar will explain how changes in the gut microbiome—the community of bacteria in your digestive system—may play a role in conditions like Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.

We’ll talk about how diet, medications, toxins, infections, and other factors can damage the gut lining and cause a “leaky gut.” This can lead to a range of digestive, neurological, and overall health problems.

You’ll also learn how a leaky gut may trigger changes in the brain, such as the misfolding of alpha-synuclein, and what steps can be taken to help prevent or manage these effects.

This is a must-see seminar for anyone living with Parkinson’s, degenerative parkinsonism, or Alzheimer’s disease—and for caregivers who want to better understand how gut health can support brain health.
