CONTENT AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES
In recent years the topic of gut health has become increasingly popular, and a priority for many individuals to understand and learn how to improve their own. Groundbreaking research has revealed the mighty power of the gut microbiome and its connection with multiple organs such as the heart and the brain. As well as its involvement with many bodily functions including the immune system, mental health, metabolic health and hormone regulation. But what do individuals need to know and how can it be implemented?
This webinar will explore what is meant by optimal gut health, with a focus on the role of the gut microbiome. With so much conflicting information surrounding nutrition and gut health it can be a real challenge for health care professionals. This webinar will provide truth-seekers with evidenced-based facts, practical dietary advice and simple tools and tips of how to provide clear, concise and relevant advice to your individuals.

CPD CERTIFICATE & LEARNING MATERIALS
This webinar has been approved for CPD by the AfN
Gut health is a frequent area discussed both by individuals and on public communication channels, with the degree of accuracy ranging significantly. Unfortunately this means that significant proportions of the public have a poor understanding of this area and are often mislead into either believing the evidence base is more developed than it is, or purchasing expensive products. Therefore it is very timely to provide an update on this area and the current evidence-base. It is also positive that this webinar focuses substantially on the role and benefit of fibre, which is often a very overlooked nutrient that has a robust evidence base behind it.
Webinar slides and links to other key resources will be sent within 2 weeks of viewing the webinar, along with a separate personalised CPD certificate to save for your files. Add hello@mynutriweb.com to your safe senders to ensure you receive them.
