Plant Power: Polyphenols for Inflammation and Enhanced Gut Health

Polyphenols have shown numerous roles in human health due to their diverse mechanisms of action. Considered an essential functional food, polyphenols have recently garnered much attention for their role in the gut microbiome and their potential to manage systemic and intestinal inflammation.

Join Hannah Naismith and Dr Brad Leech as they explore the intricate link between polyphenols and gut health and discuss evidence-based strategies for prescribing dietary and supplemental polyphenols based on clinical presentations and microbiome assessments.

During this 1.5-hour webinar, you will learn:
• The mechanisms of polyphenols and their clinical implications
• How polyphenols interact with the gut microbiome and their role in inflammation and health conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and cardiovascular disease
• Key polyphenol compounds, including ellagic acid, resveratrol, curcumin, anthocyanins and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and their actions in the body
• How gut microbiome testing can allow for accurate polyphenol prescription to support a variety of clinical outcomes
• Real-world clinical scenarios in which polyphenols can support patient outcomes.
