The Dietitian Cafe: Let’s talk about fibre: In conversation with Dr Megan Rossi

In today’s episode, we’re discussing all things gut health and fibre. We’ll start by talking to our guest about their career before diving into today’s topic. We’ll discuss the latest research in the field of gut health, misconceptions around the topic and practical tips for diversifying the gut microbiome, for you and your patients. To discuss this subject, we're delighted to be joined by none other than registered dietitian and gut health specialist Dr Megan Rossi. Dr Megan Rossi, founder of The Gut Health Doctor, is considered one of the most influential gut health specialists internationally. A Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist for the last decade with an award-winning PhD in gut health, which was recognised for its contribution to science, receiving the Dean’s Award for outstanding research. As a leading Research Fellow at King’s College London, Megan is currently investigating nutrition-based therapies in gut health, receiving over £2.5Million in research funding and publishing over 30 scientific papers to date. Frustrated that her findings weren’t reaching the public and seeing fad and potentially dangerous misinformation on gut health being spread, Megan took to social media to share credible, evidence-based advice and has built an engaged community of over 390,000 people so far. Her debut book, Eat Yourself Healthy (UK, Aus & Europe) and Love Your Gut (US & Canada), was first published in September 2019 as an easy-to-digest guide to gut health and beyond, immediately becoming a Sunday Times bestseller. Her new book, Eat More, Live Well (UK, Aus & Europe) and How To Eat More Plants (US & Canada) was also an instant Sunday Times bestseller. Megan founded The Gut Health Clinic in London, where she leads a team of gut-specialist dietitians, as well as creating her own multi award-winning gut health food brand Bio&Me to bridge the gap between science and the food industry. Megan also has her own weekly column with the UK’s biggest selling newspaper, The Daily Mail, and regularly appears on UK’s most loved daytime TV show, This Morning.
