As interest in gut health reaches new heights, it’s easy to get lost in the whirlwind of trends, fads, and conflicting information. Dr. Emily Prpa will clear the air, examining what the latest science actually reveals about gut health. This talk will dive into emerging research, exploring the critical role of gut health across all aspects of health and wellbeing. Dr. Emily Prpa will also take a closer look at the unique aspects of the female gut microbiome, explaining how it shifts during key phases such as puberty, pregnancy and menopause.
“Expect myth-busting, science-backed advice, and practical takeaways on how to support your microbiome. There will also be an interactive Q&A session with Dr. Emily Prpa, so bring your questions and discover the truth about gut health!
“Research shows there is a bidirectional relationship between the gut microbiome and female sex hormones, including oestrogen and progesterone. The gut-hormone axis. We’ll be looking at women’s gut health through key life stages – menstrual cycle, perimenopause and the menopause. We will also discuss the gut brain axis and how the microbiome effects mood.
“As we head into the influenza season now is a good time to boost your gut health, 70% of the immune system is located in the gut, so we’ll explore the role of diet and fibre on maintaining a healthy gut.
