Dietary fibre: an old concept in new light?
With Dr Megan Rossi, RD
Dietary fibre has been dubbed the Cinderella nutrient, but could it be the secret for optimal gut health? In recent years, our understanding of dietary fibre has progressed considerably uncovering potential therapeutic opportunities applicable in both health and disease which further supports the importance of healthy plant-based eating patterns.

- Review the evolution of dietary fibre as a nutrient
- Investigate mechanisms underpinning its health benefits
- Understand fibres role in manipulating the gut microbiota
- Insight into the latest clinical trials
- Practical tips for translation into practice
