The gut is more than just a digestive organ—it’s your “second brain.” In this talk, we explore the cutting-edge science showing how the trillions of microbes in your gut communicate with your brain through the gut-brain axis. We dive into how this complex network of neurons, immune signals, and microbial metabolites like short-chain fatty acids and neurotransmitters (including serotonin and GABA) plays a critical role in shaping mood, stress resilience, and cognitive performance.
We discuss how dysbiosis—a disruption in the microbial ecosystem—can contribute to anxiety, depression, and brain fog, and how restoring gut balance through diet, probiotics, prebiotics, and lifestyle interventions can support emotional well-being from the inside out. This talk offers actionable strategies rooted in nutritional psychology and microbiome science to empower better mental health through better gut health.
Attendees will learn:
How the Microbiome-Gut-Brain-Axis is related to mental well-being
How bacteria in our gut determine what happens in our brain and relate to our overall mental well-being
How those signals get out of balance – and how to rebalance them
How to choose foods, probiotics, prebiotics, and other nutrients for maximum benefits

In this comprehensive masterclass you will learn the key elements of Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis:
#1: Functional Blood Chemistry Looks at the BIG Picture
Functional blood chemistry panels evaluate approximately 50+ different blood markers that play a role in detecting a variety underlying health imbalances.
#2: Functional Blood Chemistry Lab Ranges are Narrower
Additionally, a functional blood chemistry panel includes functional lab ranges that are MUCH TIGHTER and narrower than the conventional blood panel “norms” from a general practitioner’s office.
#3: Functional Blood Chemistry Considers Lifestyle Factors & Total Health
Lastly, functional blood chemistry considers MORE than just lab results alone.
Functional blood chemistry is never used in isolation. It is always combined with a thorough review of a client's medical history, current symptoms, and consideration of diet and lifestyle, medications, and supplement factors.

Virus infections are the chameleons of many symptoms, diagnostic test results and therapy options. Since Covid 19 there is more consciousness and knowledge about testing, tracking and therapy options during and after viral infections including Post Covid.
There is more and more evidence about opportunistic infections; especially viral infections: example Epstein Barr Cytomegalovirus, and Coxsackie infections which cause chronic inflammation, weaken the immune system, and the blood's ability to coagulate (form clots).
Modern laboratory test options like IgA-antibodies or cellular immune tests (EliSpots and CD3/CD56/CD57 markers), are examples of laboratory tests for different opportunistic infections with viruses, clinical symptoms and differentials of viral infections which can help to identify the best way to track and support clients with viral infections. Dr. Armin will also share the importance of 3 I´s (infection, immune-dysfunction, inflammation).
