This Postgraduate certificate in Microbiota and Intestinal Homeostasis program will equip you with the necessary skills to practice your profession successfully" 

Numerous pieces of scientific evidence have implicated the intestinal microbiome and its metabolic potential in various pathological conditions in recent years, giving rise to new therapeutic strategies to control and regulate this ecosystem. The study of this ecosystem is a field that is rapidly advancing scientifically, and it is universally accepted that to achieve an adequate state of health it is also necessary to have a "healthy" Microbiota. 

The human microbiota undergoes changes as a consequence of the influence of multiple factors, diet, lifestyle, pharmacological treatments.... generating alterations in this bacterial ecosystem and the abnormal interaction that the organism could have with it, is related to certain processes: allergic, acute and chronic intestinal diseases, obesity and metabolic syndrome, neurological diseases, dermatitis and other alterations in the dermis, and even some types of cancer. 

This Postgraduate certificate in Microbiota and Intestinal Homeostasis focuses on providing nutritionists with the necessary information on issues related to the Intestinal Microbiota, paying special attention to the process of homeostasis that involves the body's ability to self-regulate to maintain a healthy intestinal flora and how food can help in this regard.

In the same way, the use of Probiotics and Prebiotics and the growing market launch of new products with very specific strains for problems and diseases of the intestinal tract will also be addressed. All this content will enable nutrition professionals to be prepared to design effective nutritional solutions for patients with this type of pathology, knowing how to guide them so that they can recover and maintain their intestinal microbiota and, consequently, promote a good state of health. 

Through this Postgraduate certificate you will be able to guide the patient to recover and maintain the bacterial balance to ensure a good state of health, in addition to collaborate in a positive way with the indicated medical treatment. 

Guide the patient to recover and maintain the intestinal bacterial balance through food and help them to achieve a good state of health"
