Because of their small size, however, microorganisms make up only about 1 to 3 percent of the body's mass, but play a vital role in human health." Join Registered Dietitians, Rebecca Jaspan, and Laura Cipullo as they streamline the overabundance of information from the Human Microbiome Project and other microbiome research. Registered dietitians will gain knowledge to apply in clinical nutrition practice whether working with children or adults with symptoms consistent with irritable bowel syndrome, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, and or diabetes. A range of materials will be covered including the very basics of the microbiome, its effect on wellness and disease, and dietary implications.
