The study of the Intestinal Microbiota opens a door to the knowledge of multiple diseases, bringing great value to the Nutritionist's curriculum"

Scientific evidence increases the quality of trauma surgery. Keeping up-to-date is key to providing better care to our patients

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 diploma in Intestinal Microbiota focuses on providing nutritionists with the necessary information on issues related to the Intestinal Microbiota, its Eubiosis and Dysbiosis and the problems related to them. All this so that nutritionists are able to design optimal diets that help maintain a good Microbiota and, therefore, a good state of health.

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 offer effective nutritional solutions to patients with this type of pathology, knowing how to guide them so that they can recover and maintain their Intestinal Microbiota.
