June 25, 2024: Gut Health - Probiotics and Prebiotics
The topics of gut health, probiotics and prebiotics have skyrocketed in popularity in the past decade. But what exactly are probiotics and prebiotics? And is it better to obtain them from foods or in supplement form? Join us online during this free, statewide Worksite Wellness Lunch and Learn for a deep dive into the importance of a diet rich in both these nutrients. Katie Godin, RD, LDN from LifeStyle Medical Centers will discuss the foods rich in these nutrients and when a supplement is best. After a brief presentation, Katie will demonstrate a Prebiotic-Rich Salad recipe great for pairing with a protein of choice or eaten on its own. The recipe will be shared with all who register for the event, so don’t miss out!
