Why this matters now
Your patients are already connecting oral health, gut health and inflammation.
The challenge is that much of the information they encounter is conflicting, oversimplified or commercially driven. As a trusted health professional, you need enough context to navigate these conversations accurately, without stepping outside your role or adding another clinical burden.
20%
Increased risk of cardiovascular disease associated with periodontitis and linked with gut microbiome alterations*
1.08 x
Relative risk for colorectal cancers, associated with oral microbiome alterations*
0.51%
Reduction in HbA1c over 3 months, treating periodontal conditions, also mediated via gut microbiome pathways.*
The missing context
Oral health and gut health have traditionally been treated as separate systems.
But the science now tells a very different story. The oral microbiome, periodontal disease, systemic inflammation and gut dysbiosis are intricately connected. These systems are talking to each other constantly.
Your patients' overall health outcomes may depend on whether you understand that conversation.
Understand the science
Build the foundational microbiome knowledge that most dental education has not covered.
Connect the systems
See how oral microbial communities, the gut and whole-body health influence one another.
Communicate with confidence
Turn complex science into accurate, useful conversations your patients can understand.
Your educator
Learn with Dr Angela Genoni
Angela is a registered Nutritionist, with First-Class Honours in Public Health and a PhD in Nutrition & Gut Microbiome. She has significant experience across academia and industry, but her true passion is research translation: taking the science from the lab to real life.
This is rigorous microbiome science made clear, relevant and usable for health professionals.
Gut Science was founded in 2023 to provide more evidence-based awareness and training in the area of the gut microbiome for both the general public and health professionals.
All content is designed to be applied within your existing scope of practice. Upon completion, you will receive a statement of attainment which may be used toward your CPD requirements.
