The Gut and Joint Health Connection: Managing IBD and Arthritis

Join Dr. Ellen Scherl and Dr. Louis Bridges, Jr. for an enlightening discussion on the connection between arthritis and IBD as well as the latest research on treatments for each condition. You can expect to walk away from this talk with further knowledge on the most current recommended dietary interventions, recommended medications versus lifestyle changes, an understanding of the most current disease classifications, and the role of bacteria in the gut in relation to both IBD and arthritis. Epigenetics will also be touched upon in relation to these conditions and if there is evidence to support the role of improving ones’ environment and behaviors to alleviate or eliminate symptoms. Both Dr. Scherl, an expert in Inflammatory Bowel Disease, and Dr. Bridges, an expert in arthritis and rheumatology, are leaders in their respective fields and look forward to an informative discussion on the links between both conditions, what we know presently to be best practice in treatments, and how their teams continually unlock new critical findings and ties between the conditions to help alleviate symptoms in both IBD and arthritis.
