Why (another) training on
IBS-like symptoms
In our course, you will learn from gut and SIBO expert Dr. Thomas Bacharach why many current treatment approaches fail and which methods you can use to help your clients and patients achieve long-term gut health. The microbiome of our gut, along with potential dysbiosis of bacteria and microbes, plays a crucial role in our immune system and in relation to IBS symptoms and other digestive issues. This knowledge has already become widely acknowledged among many patients and clients.
Success through holistic gut counseling
This training is aimed at therapists who frequently encounter IBS symptoms and wish to provide holistic advice on gut health to their clients and patients. People with Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) often require a comprehensive approach, which should also include lifestyle, nutrition, and stress management.
Competence through evidence
In the course, we place a strong emphasis on supporting our content with scientific studies. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is still a relatively new condition, making continuous education and professional development in this area essential for providing competent gut health advice.
