WHO THIS TRAINING IS FOR?

This CPD is designed for:

• Health coaches
• Nutritional therapists
• Naturopaths
• Wellness practitioners
• Holistic therapists
• Personal trainers
• Yoga/Pilates instructors who want to add microbiome support
• Professionals who want a modern, structured, science-based framework

No microbiology background required.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT?

Most gut training overwhelms people with protocols, supplements, and “perfect” testing pathways.

This course teaches you how to think clinically using a terrain-first approach:

• Identify patterns fast
• Translate complexity into client-friendly language
• Build a structured plan clients can actually follow
• Stay ethical and within scope

LEARNING OUTCOMES

By the end of the training, you will be able to:

• Explain the microbiome story in simple, client-friendly language
• Identify the main terrain patterns:
  • Low-SCFA terrain
  • High-histamine terrain
  • Bile-flow stagnation
  • Yeast-linked stress patterns
  • Inflammatory terrain
• Recognise symptom clusters and food reactions
• Use food diaries and symptom logs to identify terrain behaviours
• Understand the logic behind traffic-light food mapping
• Integrate symptoms + food reactions + history into one terrain narrative
• Apply the Mantovani 3-Phase Protocol™:

1. Clear the Path
2. Reset the Garden
3. Stabilise the System

• Build a structured 12-week programme for clients
• Communicate findings ethically and within professional scope
