It’s challenging to keep up with the big nutrition topics of the day, so the BDA regularly works with its partners to share new research or ideas to support your practice. This series of partner webinars will run throughout the year – catch up on our BDA Conversations here.
Women’s health and the gut microbiome: changes over a lifetime, October 2022
Our thanks to Symprove for supporting this conversation.
Most women will experience menstrual cycles for at least 30 years of their lives, before going through menopause. These dynamic shifts in hormones affect many parts of the body, including digestive health and the microbiome.
In this one hour webinar, BDA CEO Liz Stockley was joined by special guest speaker Laura Tilt RD. Laura looked at how female hormones influence the gut, and how dynamic shifts in hormones through the lifecycle can impact digestion and the microbiome.

Our thanks to Symprove for supporting this conversation.
With the ever-increasing interest and growing scientific evidence surrounding the intrinsic link between the gut and other organs of the body, it's becoming more important than ever to understand and appreciate the therapeutic potential of targeting the gut microbiome to improve clinical outcomes in different patient groups.
In this one hour webinar, described by attendees as "remarkable" and "fascinating", BDA CEO Andy Burman was joined by special guest speaker Dr Lynne Barker. Dr Barker provided an overview of the current research on the gut-brain axis with focus on neurological conditions, including exploration of gut-brain interactions and communication pathways, how alterations in the gut microbiome may drive disease, as well as emerging evidence-based interventions for the management of Parkinson’s disease.
