5-WEEK VIRTUAL COHORT
The Gut-Environment Connection
Detoxification, Chronic Infections & Toxic Burden: A Gut-Centered Approach
March 2- April 2, 2026 | Online
COHORT SCHEDULE
Who This Is For:
PAs, NPs, MDs, DOs, DCs, RDs, NDs, and licensed practitioners working with chronic illness, detoxification, or environmentally linked disease patterns.
What You’re Learning
This cohort offers a clinical look into how environmental exposures—from mold and metals to chronic infections such as Lyme Disease—impact gut health, immune response, and systemic burden.
Across five weeks, you'll explore the two-way street between how environmental exposures impact the gut and how the gut then impacts the detoxification of these toxins.
You’ll build a clearer lens for assessing environmental exposures—and walk away with focused strategies to support detoxification, reduce burden, and treat the root causes of complex symptoms.
