Talk Abstract
Listen To Your Gut
Listen to Your Gut establishes the gastrointestinal tract as the centre of human health and the cornerstone of modern preventive medicine. Backed by scientific preclinical evidence, it demonstrates how the gut microbiota actively regulates homeostasis. It reveals the ability of specific probiotics and postbiotics in restoring gut health, thereby enhancing cognitive function and cardiometabolic health. It also unveils the future of microbiome-based interventions that is expected to shift towards precision-engineered Next-Generation Probiotics (NGPs) and stable, bioactive postbiotics. Ultimately, Listen to Your Gut is a testament that a healthy gut is the foundation for lifelong resilience, longevity, and vitality.
