The Gut Brain Connection - Christine Rosche, (January 2017)

Feb 10, 2017
“The Gut Brain Connection” is a presentation by Christine Rosche, MPH, CNS, CBT that took place on January 19, 2017.

Chronic diseases for which there are inadequate treatments are increasing in the Western world. While genetics play a role in diseases, genetics and DNA are not our destiny. Diet and life style choices can change DNA through epigenetics. Ninety-nine percent of our DNA is microbial DNA which is in the gut. Hence, the gut has a large role in genetic expression, and many of these diseases can start in the gut.

Inflammation is major contributing cause to most diseases. Inflammation leads to conditions such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, strokes, autism, depression, ADHD, asthma, arthritis, coronary artery disease, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. Chronic inflammation leads to a decrease in hippocampal neurogenesis, brain inflammation and disease and ultimately cognitive decline. Chronic intestinal inflammation and proinflammatory cytokines lead to the same end.
