Digestive Wellness for Children

Digestive Wellness For Children

If your children don’t have good health, they deserve to have it. If they have good health, they deserve to keep it. Digestive Wellness for Children is an essential guide to help you achieve their full health potential

Leaky Gut Syndrome
Leaky Gut Syndrome – Leaky Gut Syndrome is synonymous with “increased intestinal permeability”. This occurs when the intestinal wall becomes inflamed and irritated, losing its ability to function. The intestinal lining has the important job of allowing nutrients to be absorbed through it, while keeping out inappropriate substances.With Leaky Gut, these inappropriate substances enter the bloodstream, which can overburden the immune system and degrade our health.
Biography
Liz Lipski, PhD, CCN

Prof. Liz Lipski, PhD, CNS, FACN, IFMCP, BCHN, LDN

Liz Lipski is a professor and the Director of Academic Development for the Nutrition and Integrative Health programs at Maryland University of Integrative Health.

My personal mission is to put food and lifestyle into the center of medicine by training the next generation of clinicians. Having nutrition professionals in clinical settings significantly changes the way that medicine is practiced. Using food as medicine can have profound effects on people.

I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Nutrition from the Union Institute, am a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition and a member of Cochrane, hold two board certifications in clinical nutrition (CNS and BCHN) and one from the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFMCP). I’m on faculty for the gastrointestinal modules for the Institute for Functional Medicine and the Metabolic Medicine Institute fellowship program in Integrative Medicine. I currently sit on advisory boards for the Accreditation Council for Nutrition Professional Education (ACNPE), Algaecal and the Autism Hope Alliance. In the past, I was a founding board member and secretary for ACNPE, and on boards for the American Nutrition Association, National Association for Nutrition Professionals, and the International and American Association for Clinical Nutrition.

I like to write and have been published in peer-reviewed journals including Nutrition in Clinical Practice, Integrative Medicine, Alternative and Complementary Medicine, and am the author of several books: Digestive Wellness, Digestive Wellness for Children, Leaky Gut Syndrome, and The Digestion Connection. I’ve written textbook chapters for Integrative Gastroenterology (editions 1 & 2), and for Integrative and Functional Medical Nutrition Therapy.

I’m the founder of Innovative Healing and the Innovative Healing Academy. I love to garden, hike/walk, cook, read novels, spend time in nature, travel in our RV, and most importantly spending time with friends and family. Life is an adventure, and each day a blessing.

Education Programs

I teach nutrition courses at Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH) where I am helping to prepare the next generation of clinical nutritionists.

For access to some of my lectures and interviews outside of MUIH visit my website Innovative Healing where you will find many hours of interviews and presentations that I have recently done. You will find them under the Presentations tab at the top of the site.

Occasionally I offer mentoring programs in clinical nutrition for healthcare professionals. Details are available under the Mentoring tab at Innovative Healing.

I also offer an online self-paced course called the Art of Digestive Wellness through my Innovative Healing Academy that is certified for 30 continuing education credits by several nutrition organizations.
