Webinar description:
The webinar will review current evidence implicating the gut microbiota in cardiometabolic health and how dysbiosis can lead to obesity-linked diseases. It will also review recent advances on key microbial factors that are regulated by diets and nutrients and how probiotics and prebiotics can be harnessed to alleviate obesity and metabolic diseases. 
 

Learning Objectives:

1. Better understand how the gut microbiota is involved in metabolic homeostasis
2. To know what microbial factors are key to influence energy metabolism, glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance, and other T2D risk factors
3. Understanding how we can harness the microbiome to prevent or mitigate cardiometabolic diseases

Speaker:
André Marette, PhD - Université Laval  

Moderator: Elena Comelli, PhD - University of Toronto
