Gut health has become one of the most talked about topics in food and nutrition. Despite its popularity, confusion remains about what “gut health” really means, how it differs from digestion, and which dietary strategies are supported by the strongest scientific evidence.

In this free, 75-minute IFIC Expert Webinar, leading researchers Maria Marco, PhD, and Hannah Holscher, PhD, RD, will explore the evolving science of gut health and the gut microbiome through both a scientific and practical lens. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the six domains of gut health and how to translate this evolving area of research into evidence-based recommendations and consumer-friendly communication.

Speakers:

  • Monica Amburn, MS, RDN, LDN, IFIC Vice President, Food Safety & Nutrition
  • Maria Marco, PhD, University of California, Davis
  • Hannah Holscher, PhD, RD, FASN, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
