Topic: The Role of the Intestinal Microbiome in Health
Speaker: Dr. Catherine Lozupone
Brewery: Mountain Toad
The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms. These organisms perform essential functions, including extracting dietary calories, modulating the immune system and producing metabolites from food that affect health in the gut and beyond—including the brain and joints.
Dr. Lozupone will provide a scientific primer on what is known about the composition and function of this fascinating community of organisms, as well as efforts by the scientific community to target gut microbiome to improve human health.
An evening hosted by Golden Beer Talks centers around a brief, informative and entertaining presentation by an expert on an irresistibly enticing topic. Each event features beer for sale from one of our local breweries, along with a variety of delicious food and drink offerings from the Buffalo Rose kitchen and bar.
It's Golden's own grassroots version of TED talks for the benefit of our own local community--and just for the fun of it. Golden Beer Talks is a nonprofit venture focused on three favorite local things--Golden and Beer and Talking!
