A groundbreaking education for clinicians, coaches and health professionals working at the intersection of gut science, metabolism and modern chronic disease.
Food Network (NN) is proud to announce the launch of its newest flagship educational offering: Gut Health: The Microbiome, Metabolism and Modern Diseasewhich first appears February 28, 2026.
This comprehensive clinician-level training brings together world-leading experts in metabolic health, gastrointestinal science, ancestral nutrition, immune function, movement physiology, and oral-systemic health. Designed to challenge outdated nutrition dogma and provide evidence-based education with a metabolic lens, this training equips practitioners to understand—and treat — gut dysfunction as a root cause of today’s chronic disease epidemic.

Once considered an isolated system, the gut is now recognized as the control center of metabolism — modulation of inflammation, immunity, hormonal balance, nutrient processing, mental health and cardiometabolic risk.
This training goes beyond the basics of the microbiome. He reveals how industrialized food systems, environmental changes, metabolic dysfunction and modern lifestyles have profoundly changed the ecology of the human gut—and how clinicians can restore it using evidence-based practical frameworks.
Tamzyn Murphy, RD, MSc & NN Faculty – Carb Myths and Digestive Disorders
IBS, SIBO, reflux, IBD, diverticulosis — the clinical tools you need.
What the evidence really shows about fiber, fat, fermentation and gut health.
Dr Nasha Winters, ND, FABNO – The Role of the Microbiome in Immune Response & Therapeutic Outcomes (Autoimmune & Inflammatory Diseases)
A deep dive into how microbial imbalance shapes autoimmune disease, chronic inflammation, pain syndromes, allergies, and even dermatologic disease—and how to intervene at the gut-immune interface.
Jayne Bullen (NN Managing Director) – Gut–Brain Reconnection Techniques
A mind-body immersion in tools that reconnect gut-brain communication, including vagus nerve activation, physical techniques, soft belly breathing, and practical methods to restore vagal tone and nervous system balance.
Dr Sara C. Campbell, PhD – Physical Activity as a Modulator of the Gut Microbiome and Gut Integrity: Clinical Implications
Cutting-edge research on how movement reshapes the microbiome, strengthens barrier integrity, reduces inflammation, and enhances metabolic health—and how to therapeutically prescribe exercise to support gut recovery.
Dr Leah Murray, ND – Clinical tools for assessing gut health
A no-nonsense guide to modern gut testing: what works, what doesn’t, how to interpret microbiome and inflammatory markers, and how to integrate lab findings with metabolic biomarkers to create coherent treatment plans.
Dr Katarzyna Hongler, DDS – Metabolism & the Mouth: The two-way relationship between oral health and systemic metabolic function
Groundbreaking insights into periodontal disease as an early metabolic red flag, hormonal and insulin-mediated mechanisms behind gingival inflammation, and the mouth-liver-heart axis as a clinical tool.
Mary Ruddick, CNC – Ancestral Microbiomes: Lessons from Traditional Diets for Modern Gut and Metabolic Health
An exploration of ancestral gut ecology, nutrient density and traditional dietary patterns – revealing how modern lifestyles have disrupted microbial resilience and how to restore it using ancestral dietary frameworks.
The rise of metabolic dysfunction, obesity, autoimmune disorders, allergies, mental health challenges, digestive disorders and fatty liver disease all point to a common root: a damaged intestinal ecosystem.
This training gives professionals:
✔ clinically validated frameworks for gut recovery
✔ evidence-based metabolism and low-carb perspectives
✔ practical case-based tools, protocols and applications
✔ comprehensive strategies updated by the world’s leading experts
✔ deeper, more accurate understanding of gut-metabolism pathways
It is designed to transform the way practitioners approach gut health — moving from symptom management to root cause metabolic restoration.
