with Laurence Fourdrignier DO, ND
Time: Fri 10th, 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm
Labels: Workshops and Activities , Wellness and Community Action
Location: Permaculture Hub
I would like to talk you through the recent developments in science that have allowed us to understand what is the microbiome and why it is important for Health, the implications in terms of new developments regarding new treatment therapies for various diseases. And more importantly how we have destroyed the delicate balance of a symbiotic internal ecosystem, and how we can begin to repair the damages by going back to the roots, where our health is dependent on the health of what we eat and how the little bacteria are our best friends, whether it is to help us absorb / breakdown our food or create a healthy microbiome through diversity.
Outcomes for attendees will be:
- Better food choices
- Better understanding of own health and how to maximise it
- Understanding of a current shift in medical approach, particularly re: antibiotic use and new medical developments to treat inflammatory bowel diseases initially
- Looking at old fashioned ways of preserving foods to support a healthy microbiome
- An understanding of why using local produce and supporting the local economy is also important for the microbiome and for individual health
