It is shocking how widespread brain disorders are today. In children we are seeing more ADD or ADHD, dyslexia, various behavioural and learning disorders, and autism.

In adults we are seeing more depression, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, dementia and Alzheimer's.

What's going on and why are these conditions on the rise?

One area that has not been well explored is the connection between psychiatric and neurological disorders and gastrointestinal function.

After twenty years in practice, hours of research, and many successes in treating gastric disorders, Dr. Yim believes that the health of the gut is the number one priority in healthy aging and vibrant good health.

In this engaging and informative lecture, you will learn:

* how the gut functioned as your second brain

*how the proper function and permeability of the gut lining influences brain function

*factors that cause leaky gut syndrome

*how inflammation affects both gut and brain

*how the bacteria in your gut is essential for health

*how the toxins produced in the gut can damage the brain

*how to feed the brain for optimal function

*how specific nutrients maximize gut and brain function

*the five phases of Healthy Gut Healthy Brain

If you or someone you know is challenged by a brain disorder, autoimmune disease, inflammation, heartburn, ulcers, etc., or you want the knowledge to preserve your brain health, this is one lecture you will not want to miss!
