Webinar – From Dysbiosis to Defense: Leveraging Beta-Glucan to Support the Gut–Immune Axis
June 3 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm CDT
In this practitioner-focused session, speaker Dr. Jocelyn Strand will explore how beta-glucan interacts with immune receptors in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) to support coordinated immune responses through a process known as trained immunity. She will review the mechanistic science linking beta-glucan to microbial balance and immune signaling, and conclude with emerging clinical research demonstrating measurable improvements in gut-related health markers.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe the role of the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) as a central regulator of immune function
- Explain the mechanism of action of beta-glucan within the gastrointestinal tract
- Define trained immunity and its relevance to gastrointestinal and systemic health
- Evaluate the relationship between dysbiosis, microbial metabolites, and inflammatory signaling
- Review the current evidence supporting beta-glucan in gastrointestinal health and immune resilience
