Drawing on my early career in medical research, I am passionate about sharing the latest insights from microbiome research in a way that is accessible to everyone, including those who don’t have a scientific or medical background. While the microbiome can change significantly within just 3–6 weeks of certain dietary changes, shifting the overall balance of your microbiome requires sustained action. This webinar series gives you empowering information and tools for you to take action to improve your microbiome balance that can support your health – right now and for many years to come.

​

These webinars are for anyone wanting to take proactive steps to support their health and immune system, especially those who are concerned that their age, ethnicity, underlying health conditions or higher bodyweight places them at increased risk for the more severe COVID symptoms. The series is also suitable for those recovering from COVID, and those who want to make an investment in healthy ageing and the prevention of inflammation-related conditions – where the effectiveness of microbiome diet interventions are already well evidenced.

"I am finding the worksheets very useful, and a real eyeopener to the fact my diet isn't as varied as I thought it was."

 

Each webinar will include clear steps you can take, as well as detailed information on which foods can be chosen for microbiome health, so you can make your own meal plans and recipes to suit you.
