Why should I take this course?

GI complaints are among the most frequent concerns in both primary care and specialty settings—but they’re often treated in isolation or overlooked altogether. Integrative GI care addresses symptoms at the source—digestive function, microbial balance, nutrition, and nervous system regulation.
In this course, you'll:
  • Expand your understanding of celiac disease, dyspepsia, gallbladder issues, and nausea
  • Use botanicals, supplements, and elimination diets with greater clarity and confidence
  • Apply acupressure and mind-body tools in clinical settings
  • Help patients shift from symptom suppression to long-term gut resilience
  • Personalize care plans using whole-person approaches that account for lifestyle, stress, and functional digestion
This course equips you with the knowledge and clinical tools to confidently manage advanced topics in integrative care—using whole-person, lifestyle-based strategies grounded in science and systems thinking.

Whether you practice family medicine, GI, nutrition, or integrative health, this course offers practical tools for treating digestive issues with greater insight and impact.
