Episode notes
From Queensland To King's College
- Megan Rossi trained in Australia, worked as a clinical dietician, then did a PhD on gut health leading to a postdoc at King's College London.
- Her PhD found symbiotic supplements reduced blood toxins in chronic kidney disease, prompting wider gut-health focus.
Gut Microbes Influence The Brain
- Probiotics can alter brain responses to negative stimuli in randomized trials using MRI scans.
- This suggests gut microbes may influence emotional processing and stress resilience.
Prefer Food Over Prebiotic Pills
- Do aim for a wide range of plant-based foods rather than prebiotic supplements for most people.
- Try fermented foods like kefir, kimchi or live-culture yogurt for dietary probiotics when needed.
