What 's your microbiome got to do with blood pressure? ...with Prof Francine Marques

This conversation with Professor Francine Marques discusses her research on the microbiome and blood pressure. It covers the relationship between dietary fibres and by-product of fermentation in your gut, called short chain fatty acids, that influence blood pressure. We discuss the impact of lifestyle changes on health, and especially blood pressure management and cover the importance of research trials for validating health interventions and the innovations in research that influence health and provide a link to current studies being done in her lab.
