Session Outlines and Learning Objectives
About the session
The gut microbiome is thought to be involved in nearly every developmental process of our brain, but what is the latest scientific evidence in relation to how the gut talks to the brain and vice versa? This presentation will cover the current state of the evidence on how your microbiome interacts with your brain and the associations between the gut microbiome in brain diseases and mental health conditions. We’ll also discuss the emerging area of psychobiotics.
Watch this session to:
GAIN CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF:
- How your gut and brain communicate
- The relationship between food and mood
- How your microbiome are involved in your brain health and emotional well-being
BE AWARE OF:
- The complexity of the gut-brain relationship
- The nuances and individual approach required
BE ABLE TO:
- Understand the current state of the evidence
- What nutrition advice is appropriate (or not!) to support mood and mental well-being
- Appreciate that this is a rapidly evolving field
