Program Description: With ¾ of our immune system housed in and around our digestive tract, a healthy gut is crucial for wellness. Digestive disorders are a primary reason many Americans seek health care. There is ample evidence that stress, the environment, and eating patterns play leading roles in many of these conditions.
