An incredible day at the NMI conference with so many take homes and such lovely connections with friends and colleagues

Highlights for me
👉understanding in detail the effect of HPA dysregulation on metabolic health
👉seeing the data on the effect of micronutrient status and supplementation on prenatal depression
👉hearing about the incredible pilot studies into ketogenic diet and bipolar disorder

It was also great to see how the data supports the principles embedded within integrative and functional medicine that psychiatry and mental health is intimately connected to metabolic, nutritional, hormone and microbiome status . Thankyou to all the organisers for a fantastic event 🙏

A fabulous day discussing the ethics of functional medicine testing…. So many interesting and thought provoking discussions about how and when to test, and responsible and ethical interventions. How too much knowledge can be anxiety provoking and create fear, and that skilled practitioners are essential in responsible reporting of tests. Other topics that I thought were particularly timely were the lack of regulation in the testing industry, educating patients and the public on why not all tests are equally validated and the need to keep up to date with new advances in knowledge and technology. Thankyou for starting this really important conversation 🙏… with , and .bramley

The microbiome plays a critical role in our gut health and research shows it also has an impact on many other areas of health, including mental health and immunity. So it’s no surprise that more and more people are interested in ways to support their microbiome.🪴

One way to do this is by consuming probiotic-rich foods, like yogurt or sauerkraut. But did you know that avocado may also be beneficial for gut health?

Avocado contains a type of soluble fiber called pectin, which can act as a prebiotic. Prebiotics are food for probiotics (the “good” bacteria in your gut), so by consuming avocado, you’re giving those probiotics food which can help them thrive.

Avocado is also a good source of monounsaturated fatty acids, which have been shown to support gut health. In one study, subjects who consumed a diet rich in monounsaturated fats had an increase in beneficial bacterial species, compared to those who consumed a diet high in saturated fats.

So if you’re looking for ways to support your microbiome, don’t forget about avocado! Add it to your next smoothie or salad for a gut-friendly boost. ❤️ 🥑
