REPLAY: Intestinal inflammation: Clinical definition, testing & treatment with Lisa Costa-Bir and Dr Brad Leech

Join Dr Brad Leech and ambassador Lisa Costa-Bir on her inaugural podcast on all things gut inflammation. Brad breaks down the importance of functional testing for assessing inflammation, with a detailed discussion on interpreting the four major tests: calprotectin, lactoferrin, occult blood and secretory IgA.

Learn about the importance of personalising treatment for patients with gut inflammation and how to effectively use (and dose) key anti-inflammatory herbs and nutrients for optimal efficacy. Clinical take-homes for use in your practice will also include dietary recommendations and an interesting discussion on colon cleansing.
