Prebiotics play a major role in the health and function of the gut microbiome. Understanding how and when to prescribe different types of prebiotics can lead to greater success in reducing symptoms of dysbiosis and establishing a resilient gut microbiome.  

During this one hour webinar, you will learn to:  

  • Understand how prebiotics can influence the gut microbiome and common clinical scenarios  
  • Identify gut microbiome markers that influence the selection of prebiotic for your patients  
  • Initiate an alternative approach to herbal antimicrobial therapy to effectively address gut dysbiosis and clinical symptoms  
  • Prescribe prebiotics at dosing schedules supported by research evidence   
  • Apply a simple algorithm incorporating clinical features, gut microbiome status and practical pointers to assist with selecting an appropriate prebiotic for your patients  
  • Select from a toolkit of strategies to address common “curve balls” that occur in prebiotic prescription in clinical practice  

Join clinical Naturopath and Physiotherapist, Alyssa Tait in ‘Personalised Prebiotics for Enhanced Gut Health.’

Alyssa Tait is a clinical Naturopath and Physiotherapist focusing on gut and bowel dysfunction, and persistent pelvic and abdominal pain. She has a Master of Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Western States, Portland, Oregon. Alyssa has a special interest in the gut and urogenital microbiomes and disorders of gut-brain interaction. She started her career as a physiotherapist in the public health system focusing on pelvic floor, bladder and bowel function, but a surplus of questions drove her further up the gastrointestinal tract to further study, first in Nutritional Medicine, then later in Naturopathy.   

She has spent 19 years in private practice solving complex clinical puzzles through a combined naturopathy and physiotherapy lens. Alyssa is on faculty at the University of Western States and is committed to helping students and clinicians apply research evidence in a way that’s practical. In doing so she hopes to contribute to bridging the gap between orthodox medicine and naturopathic medicine, having spent her career with one foot in each camp.
