We all know that the gut is the seat of most diseases. In the Gastrointestinal Masterclass II we cover the most of the common lower gastrointestinal presentations that you are seeing in practice. You will learn how to recognise, assess, interpret pathology for and develop care plans for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, Lymphocytic and Collagenous Colitis and Diverticulosis which can all be challenging presentations. The experts in these fields are giving you their proven treatment approaches that they have refined over thousands of patients.
*This Masterclass comes with seven of the webinars from our previous Gastrointestinal Masterclass Two (CE hours are for the current Masterclass only).
Dr Mark Davis specialises in inflammatory bowel disease. He sees Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis almost exclusively. Both of these conditions are increasing significantly, especially Crohn’s. Most people with Crohn’s undergo surgery to resect part of their bowel and unfortunately, about 40% of them suffer a recurrence. The inflammatory bowel diseases respond particularly well to good natural healthcare. Mark is a naturopathic doctor and full-time faculty at Maryland University of Integrative Health. He treats adults and children with inflammatory bowel disease and occasionally other digestive conditions at Capital Integrative Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
Dr Patrick Hannaway is a highly-regarded integrated functional medicine clinician and will give us deep insights into the causes and care of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Dr Hanaway served on the Executive Committee for the American Board of Integrative Medicine and is Past President of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine.

Dr Megan Taylor has two topics; Diverticulosis and Microscope Colitis. Microscopic Colitis is an inflammatory bowel condition too not visible to the naked eye (microscopic) and presents in two forms Collagenous Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis.
