The Gut-Brain Axis
How gut microbes communicate with the brain — and where the hype exceeds the data.

This is not another "heal your gut" course.

FMT for recurrent C. difficile is guideline-supported. Specific probiotic strains prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea. The gut microbiome modulates cancer immunotherapy response. But most consumer "gut health" products outpace the evidence. This course teaches you to tell the difference — with explicit evidence grades on every claim.
