Join COPE and presenter Patricia Davidson as we kick off our 2018-2019 webinar series!

 

Current research points to a correlation between gut health and diabetes and yet most health professionals are unfamiliar with applications to clinical care. There are a number of dietary and lifestyle factors that can lead to an alteration in gut flora, also known as the microbiome.  Join our webinar to learn about the critical role gut flora plays in affecting insulin sensitivity, insulin resistance, and alterations in the immune response.
