Microbiome & PregancyThe importance of the microbiome in preconception, during pregnancy and through recovery/breastfeeding.
Presented by Claire Barnes on behalf of Bio-Kult
A free webinar led by Bio-Kult, a specialist probiotics company, on the topic of the microbiome through pregnancy and beyond.
Synopsis:
Many physiological changes take place during pregnancy; some of which are still not fully understood. Recent research has highlighted the changes in the maternal gut microbiota, which appears to influence the immune and metabolic modifications, which are necessary for a healthy pregnancy.
In this presentation, Claire aims to provide:
- An understanding of the necessary physiological changes that take place during pregnancy
- An evaluation of the importance of the maternal gut microbiota during pregnancy
- Evidence of how the maternal gut microbiota could have an effect on certain pregnancy complications and infant health
- An evaluation of the current evidence for modulating the gut microbiota during pregnancy
- An emphasis on the two key supplements currently recommended by the NHS during pregnancy
The Speaker:

She graduated from the College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM) in Bristol in 2016 and has since worked as a Technical Advisor for ADM Protexin, manufacturers of the Bio-Kult and Lepicol ranges. She is currently furthering her studies with The Centre for Integrative Sports Nutrition.
Claire began her career in fashion buying in London, but following a year sabbatical, she discovered her passion was in health and nutrition. On returning to the UK, she set out to develop her own award-winning juice bar business which she ran for seven years. When she sold the business, she wanted to advance her knowledge of nutritional health and so began her lifelong nutritional therapy training.
