The Gut Health & Longevity Summit: The Role of Plant-Based Nutrition in Microbiome Health and Healthy Aging
Plant the Seeds of Healthy Aging at The Gut Health & Longevity Summit
Brain health, gut health, and healthy aging come together in this summit exploring how the gut microbiome, plant-based nutrition, fiber, inflammation, metabolism, and the gut-brain connection relate to memory, cognitive health, and longevity. Across five days, learn practical ways to better understand the connections between what you eat, gut health, and healthy aging.
What This Summit Covers
Explore how the gut microbiome and longevity are connected, including the role of fiber in feeding the microbiome, emulsifiers and food additives, gut-healthy cooking, and plant-based nutrition. Sessions also examine how gut health relates to the nervous system, chronic health concerns, metabolism, GLP-1 pathways, heart health, and cholesterol, helping attendees understand common questions about food, digestion, and whole-body health.
The final days turn to questions about when healthy foods may not feel right, cellular health, autoimmune conditions, Alzheimer’s disease beyond amyloid, and the relationship between plant protein, strength, gut health, and healthy aging. Whether you are exploring these topics for yourself or supporting a loved one, the summit offers accessible education on how nutrition, the microbiome, brain health, and aging intersect.
