Gut, brain, diet: how are they connected?
About the webinar:
As nutrition science advances, so too does our understanding of and appreciation for the inextricable link between the gut and brain. In our upcoming webinar with Dr Wolfgang Marx from The Food & Mood Centre at Deakin University, you’ll learn the latest on the influence of diet on the gut and brain, including pre- and probiotics, polyphenols and fermented foods. You’ll also gain practical skills for incorporating this up-to-date research into your dietetics practice.
Key learning outcomes:
- The evidence supporting the link between diet and brain health
- How the gut microbiome can influence the link between diet and brain health
- Practical considerations for incorporating current evidence in clinical practice
