Join leading nutritional expert Megan Rossi and chartered psychologist Kimberley Wilson for the facts about gut health, the gut-brain axis and our emotional relationship with food. REGISTER NOW Join us in-person at Conway Hall or online from the comfort of your own home to hear from Megan Rossi and Kimberley Wilson, who will each do a talk followed by an audience Q&A.  TALK ONE EAT MORE, LIVE WELL: enjoy your favourite foods and boost your gut health with the diversity diet Megan Rossi, dietitian, nutritionist, and founder of The Gut Health Doctor  Gut health expert Megan Rossi brings you her guide to understanding plant-based eating. Her science-backed approach to healthy eating is all about enjoying delicious food that you, your family and your gut bacteria will love, free from restrictions and fad-diets. It’s called The Diversity Diet. This way of eating is not about going vegan (unless you want to), cutting out food groups, counting calories, controlling your portions or only eating “diet food”. Rather, it’s about tapping into the latest scientific evidence about how our bodies and gut microbes work best. This means enjoying easy, flavoursome meals that will help you feel fuller for longer, reduce your risk of disease, help you live more sustainably and enjoy food that makes you and your gut happy.
