AIMA is delighted to relaunch our Auckland Monthly Meetings with a Special Event held in conjunction with NutriSearch and Cell Logic.

It has been a long time between drinks, as they say. Come along and catch up with your colleagues and meet other like-minded practitioners and individuals in this informal and convivial setting as we explore Modulating Gut Ecology – a powerful strategy linking the Gut-Immune Interface to Acute and Chronic Disease.

This event will provide the opportunity to chat and network with others in the integrative medicine community over light refreshments, followed by a hybrid presentation with Naturopath and Clinical Educator, Rob Thomas joining us via zoom on the big screen and Adri Ferreira, Naturopath, Nutritionist and Tech Sales Manager at NutriSearch, joining us in Auckland to answer questions/moderate the session.

Intro to G.E.M.M., the gateway connecting Gut-Immune Interface and Chronic Disease

Gut Ecology and Metabolic Modulation (G.E.M.M.) provides a refreshingly different approach amidst the plethora of gut health programmes. G.E.M.M. was developed by Australian clinician and scientist, Dr Christine Houghton who realised that the current solutions to gut health were not always effective. G.E.M.M.’s uniqueness stems from its focus on addressing the fundamental biochemical processes that link the Gut-Immune interface to the distant organs responsible for both acute and chronic disease.

What to expect: Robert will introduce you to powerful but little-known properties of the remarkable epithelial cells of the gut. G.E.M.M. relies on these cells and their special properties, considering them as Mission Control. These cells interact closely with the immune network directly below them. Restoring homeostasis at the Gut-Immune interface is addressed by G.E.M.M as its foundation for restoring the health of distant organs and systems.
