Do you suffer from digestive issues like bloating, constipation, or diarrhoea? Are you interested in learning more about the connection between gut health and overall wellness? In this new episode of me&my health up podcast, we’ll be diving into the topic of gut health with special guest Dr. Philip Hansbro. As an internationally recognized research leader with a focus on respiratory diseases, Dr. Hansbro will be sharing his expert insights on the gut microbiome, the role of diet in gut health, and practical tips for optimising your gut health through diet and lifestyle changes. About Dr. Philip Hansbro: Dr. Philip Hansbro is the Deputy Director of the Centenary Institute and the Director of the Centenary UTS Centre for Inflammation. He is an internationally recognised research leader with a focus on respiratory diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive airway disease (COPD), and infections, as well as developing interests in lung cancer. Dr. Hansbro’s research is contributing significantly to our understanding of the pathogenesis of these diseases and developing new therapies to combat them. About his research: Dr. Hansbro and his team at the Centenary Institute have more than 25 years of experience exploring how inflammation contributes to the progression of diseases, such as asthma, arthritis, type 1 diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and even COVID-19, just to name a few. The good news is that Dr. Hansbro’s research shows that switching to a fibre-rich diet promotes gut health and reduces inflammation. Some facts about inflammation and the gut: People who already have high levels of underlying inflammation in their body are more likely to develop respiratory diseases. Lifestyle is often a contributing element, with factors like smoking or smoke exposure, air pollution, and poor diet making people more vulnerable to these diseases. Our gut plays a vital role in our immune system. The chemical molecules and by-products the microbes in our gut generate help nourish us, calm our immune system, and reduce our body’s overall or underlying inflammation load. Supporting the health of our gut microbiome by enjoying a healthy diet and lifestyle is one simple but powerful way we can really help drive down unnecessary and harmful inflammation in our bodies. A healthy lifestyle, including attention to our diet, can help prevent diseases before they take hold. About the book, The Good Gut Anti-Inflammatory Diet: The Good Gut Anti-Inflammatory Diet delivers practical information about how inflammation works in your body and gives a lifelong framework that will provide you with tools to limit inflammation – including a two-week meal plan, 50 recipes from ‘Fast Ed’ Hamalgyi, and nutrition tips from Dr. Clare Bailey.
