#293 Can Fish Oil Improve Your Gut? | Dr Amrita Vijay
16th Apr 2025
Today we invite Dr Amrita Vijay to the podcast. She is a leading scientific advisor and researcher specialising in the intersection of diet, the gut microbiome, and health.
With a strong background in conducting nutritional interventions in both India and the UK, Dr Vijay explores how food influences inflammation, mood and overall well-being.
We discuss:
- The prebiotic potential of omega-3
- Why not all dietary fibres can be considered equal.
- The influence of culture and heritage on our dietary habits and why acknowledging these factors is essential for driving meaningful and sustainable dietary changes.
We also discuss the differences between pre and probiotics, which probiotics may actually have evidence behind them and her thoughts on gut supporting diets, diversity scoring and lots more.
Dr Vijay was recently awarded the Best Research Award from the University of Nottingham.
