The Gut in ME & You

Danny Vipond (PhD Student at The Quadram Institute)

Persistent gut symptoms and abdominal discomfort impact the health and happiness of many people bringing gut health to the forefront of medical research to better understand brain and body diseases. Inside the human gut is a complex habit of millions of bacteria (& viruses) whose genetic material (DNA) represents 3.3 million genes not encoded by humans. Their function and interaction with our own biology shows us that they are not inert but protect our health and wellbeing. Disruption to our gut habitat seems to be a feature in diseases associated with lifestyle, the immune system, and even ME.

Food For Thought: The Impact Of Nutrition On Brain Ageing

Dr David Vauzour (Research Scientist in Molecular Nutrition at Norwich Medical School)

Accumulating evidence suggests that diet and lifestyle can play an important role in delaying the onset or halting the progression of age-related health disorders and to improve cognitive function. During this presentation, the latest scientific advances specific to how dietary antioxidants and other food bioactives may affect cognitive ageing will be presented. Furthermore, several key points related to mechanisms contributing to brain ageing, pathological conditions affecting brain function, and brain biomarkers will also be discussed.
