Evidence-Based Protocols for Vagal Tone, Circadian Rhythm, Immune Balance & Microbial Function
The field of gut microbiome science is constantly evolving, with new research shaping our understanding of digestion, immunity, neuro-vagal function and metabolic rhythms. This four part programme explores these key areas, integrating the latest research with practical clinical application.
Supporting Materials & Private Facebook Group Included
Practitioners are increasingly seeing clients with persistent digestive issues—bloating, irregular motility, food sensitivities, and systemic symptoms that don’t resolve with standard protocols alone. This programme reframes gut health as a dynamic, multisystem process, not simply a matter of digestion.
Through a functional medicine lens, we’ll explore the complex interplay between microbial diversity, neuro-vagal regulation, immune balance, and metabolic rhythms that drive gut-related dysfunction.
You’ll learn how nutrition and targeted interventions can go beyond symptom relief to restore gut barrier integrity, optimise microbial function, and support whole-body resilience. The sessions will highlight evidence-based strategies for dietary planning, testing, and clinical application, giving you practical tools to integrate into your practice immediately
The programme includes 3 professional grade supplements and 4 online webinars

Webinar 1
Monday 23rd February 12:00 – 13:00
Fibre, Low FODMAP & Postbiotics – Balancing Symptom Relief with Microbial Diversity
This session reframes the Low-FODMAP Diet (LFD) as a short-term, targeted intervention, not a long-term solution. We’ll explore the pivotal role of dietary fibre in gut health and how to balance symptom management with preserving microbial diversity and Short-Chain Fatty Acid (SCFA) production. Learn how to strategically incorporate fibres and prebiotics to enhance SCFA synthesis and understand the mechanistic roles of SCFAs in gut barrier integrity, immune modulation, and anti-inflammatory action.
Key Learning Points:
- Understand why LFD should be a short-term intervention and its impact on microbial diversity.
- Explore the critical role of dietary fibre in restoring gut health.
- Learn how SCFAs influence gut barrier integrity, immune balance, and inflammation.
- Review practical strategies for incorporating fibres and prebiotics to optimise SCFA production.
- Gain clinically applicable tools for managing symptoms while supporting long-term gut resilience.
Webinar 2
Friday 27th February 12:00 – 13:00
Neuro-Vagal Tone – Innovative Protocols for Motility and Mood
This session dives into the Gut–Brain Axis, focusing on neuro-vagal tone and the enteric nervous system (ENS) in regulating gut motility and mood. We’ll review the latest evidence on psychobiotics, targeted botanicals, and non-pharmacological approaches—including vagal nerve stimulation exercises—that enhance vagal tone and restore digestive homeostasis. Gain practical, clinically applicable protocols to support patients with IBS, chronic constipation, and stress-related gastrointestinal dysfunction.
Key Learning Points:
- Understand the role of neuro-vagal tone and ENS in gut motility and mood regulation.
- Explore evidence-based psychobiotics and botanical interventions for gut–brain health.
- Learn non-pharmacological strategies, including vagal nerve stimulation exercises.
- Acquire protocols for managing IBS, chronic constipation, and stress-mediated gut dysfunction.
- Integrate practical tools to restore digestive balance and improve patient outcomes.
Webinar 3
Monday March 2nd 12:00 – 13:00
Gut Health and Chrononutrition – Strategies for Metabolic Health
This session examines how circadian rhythms and the gut’s intrinsic clock orchestrate microbiome dynamics, digestion, and metabolic processes. We’ll explore the consequences of chronodisruption on metabolic health, including impaired insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. Learn evidence-based chrononutrition strategies—such as timed feeding, meal scheduling, and light exposure—to realign circadian rhythms and optimise the gut–metabolism axis. Equip your clients with lifestyle interventions that improve metabolic flexibility and overall gut health.
Key Learning Points:
- Understand the role of circadian rhythms in gut microbiome and metabolic regulation.
- Identify the impact of chronodisruption on digestion and metabolic health.
- Learn practical chrononutrition strategies: time-restricted eating, meal timing, and light exposure.
- Explore protocols to restore metabolic flexibility and support gut–metabolism balance.
- Apply evidence-based lifestyle interventions for improved clinical outcomes.
Webinar 4
Monday 9th March 12:00 – 13:00
Gut Barrier Integrity and Histamine Regulation – Clinical Approaches
Histamine intolerance reflects complex dysregulation within the gut–immune axis, often contributing to systemic inflammation and multifaceted symptoms. This session explores the interplay between histamine-producing microbiota, mast cell activation, and immune modulation in the gastrointestinal environment. Learn precision-guided protocols to support Diamine Oxidase (DAO) activity, regulate histaminogenic microbial populations, and enhance gut barrier integrity. These strategies aim to reduce histamine burden, promote immune tolerance, and restore gut–immune homeostasis.
Key Learning Points:
- Understand the mechanisms behind histamine intolerance and gut–immune dysregulation.
- Explore the role of microbiota and mast cell activation in histamine-related symptoms.
- Learn protocols to support DAO activity and regulate histaminogenic microbes.
- Review strategies to strengthen gut barrier integrity and reduce systemic inflammation.
- Gain practical tools for managing histamine intolerance and related immune disturbances.
