Description
The world has lived through an unprecedented time with the pandemic spread of COVID-19. In an effort to decrease our susceptibility to other harmful viral infections, this course is an opportunity to collectively educate patients on the power of preventative healthcare and to get a better understanding of our natural defenses. The microbiome and the immune system are inextricably connected and the immune system would cease to function without the microbiome.
The microbiome acts as the “Neighborhood Watch” for the immune system, allowing for effective surveillance of a mucosal system that is over 3000sq ft in surface area, and inhabited by over 40 trillion microbes. This presentation will provide a review on the components of the immune system, the kinetics of our immune response and the critical support and check-points managed by the microbiome. One of our most powerful tools in fighting invading pathogens is having a healthy microbiome and this talk will illustrate what exactly that means.
In this course, Kiran Krishnan will define language used by the microbiome to communicate with the immune system to help you better understand how the microbiome send messages to the rest of the body. This will help you to read signals and messages from invading pathogens to the immune system and equip you to intercept these messages.
This course also examines the relationship between pre-existing medical conditions and COVID-19, such as diabetes, obesity, and dysbiosis. It discusses the process of recovery from infection and tissue damage, along with the connection between the microbiome and immunity. Learn more about the meticulous workings of the immune system and its relationship to the microbiome in this course.
Please Note: this course was originally recorded for an event held by the Wisconsin Naturopathic Doctors Association; as such, you may hear mention of this event during the presentation. Proceeds from this course benefit the Wisconsin Naturopathic Doctors Association.
