Health Presentation: "What's Your Gut Telling You?"

Our digestive system plays a significant role in determining
our overall health: It’s one of the gateways by which our bodies interact with the outside environment.  Over 70% of our immune system is located in the gut.  Poor diet, lifestyle and stress can all impact digestive functioning and may result in a variety of conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), heartburn, weight gain, bloating, skin problems, joint pain, fatigue, foggy thinking, cancer and more.
