The quality of life of the teaching public tends to be impaired due to the stressful routine and overwork. And this can contribute to an inadequate and unbalanced diet, favoring the installation of pathologies and metabolic disorders. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of food and / or environmental hypersensitivity and signs and symptoms of intestinal dysbiosis in teachers of a private higher education institution in Montes Claros-MG. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a qualitative and quantitative approach carried out online, in September 2020, with 49 teachers who taught at a private college located in Montes Claros-MG. For data collection, the Metabolic Tracking Questionnaire (QRM) and the Bristol Scale were sent, via Google forms, to the teachers' institutional email. It was observed, according to the final QRM score, that most teachers, 57.1% of men and women, had scores lower than 20 points, indicating that they were healthy. However, a large portion, of both sexes, had a score above 30 points, being suggestive of the existence of some hypersensitivity. A total of seven teachers, six women and one man, had scores equal to or above 10 points in terms of gastrointestinal symptoms, increasing the chances of developing some hypersensitivity and / or dysbiosis. It is concluded that teachers are predisposed to the development of dysbiosis due to the high incidence of hypersensitivity, requiring intervention measures related to food, well-being and quality of life.
