Did you know that the billions of bacteria living in our gut can influence our metabolism, body weight and liver health?
At this lecture, you will discover how gut bacteria “communicate” with our body, why disrupting their balance can contribute to conditions such as fatty liver disease, and how current research is opening new possibilities for using probiotics to prevent metabolic diseases.
Through examples from animal-model research and human clinical studies, you will explore the fascinating world of the microbiota and its importance for maintaining good health.
