Food’s Pathway Through Your Body: Best Doctors Webinar Discusses GI Health

Published on by MSU Human ResourcesLeave a comment

Did you know that the pathway that food takes as it travels through your body is called the gastrointestinal tract? The GI tract plays a major role in our lives as it’s the main pathway that food travels to get to our digestive organs, so it’s important to ensure that there are no issues.

Best Doctors Graphic
Best Doctors’ webinar, “Healthy GI: Exploring the Gut,” will take place June 29 from 2 p.m. – 3 p.m.

The upcoming Best Doctors Webinar, “Healthy GI: Exploring the Gut” will explore the gastrointestinal tract and teach you how to keep it healthy. The webinar will be presented by Dr. Eli Ehrenpreis, an academic gastroenterologist and clinical pharmacologist at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine, and Dr. Lewis Levy, the Chief Medical Officer of Best Doctors.

This free presentation will be on Thursday, June 29 from 2 p.m. – 3 p.m. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions during a live Q&A after the presentation. If you are interested, be sure to register!
