In this presentation, Dr. Jill will discuss the profoundly important connection between the microbiome and the brain. The intestinal microbiome, through its interaction with the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system can dramatically affect the brain. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) cause endotoxemia and increase the risk of diseases such as dementia and mood disorders. Dr. Jill will unpack the connections between these imbalances, discussing lab testing and treatment options.
