Rebuilding the Gut Microbiome:
Clinical Strategies to Support Keystone Gut Bacteria
Optimising Microbial Resilience Through Metabolites, Polyphenols, and Precision Nutrition
FREE WEBINAR With Dan Sipple | Tuesday, 24th February 2026, 7:00 – 8:30 pm AEDT
This webinar explores the foundational drivers of gut health through the lens of keystone and beneficial bacteria, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), polyphenols, fibre, resistant starch, and lifestyle influences.
Dan Sipple will translate emerging microbiome research into practical clinical applications, highlighting how microbial metabolites regulate immune function, gut integrity, and metabolic health.
Gain clarity on how to strategically use dietary fibres, polyphenols, and resistant starch – while recognising when to modify or withhold these interventions – and how lifestyle factors directly shape microbial resilience.
The session integrates current human research with clinical decision-making to support personalised gut and metabolic health care.
What the gut microbiome actually needs to recover. Which gut bacteria actually matter
What You Will Learn – By the end of this webinar, you’ll be able to:
- Define keystone and beneficial gut bacteria, identifying the most clinically relevant strains and their specific roles in maintaining gut integrity, immunity, and metabolic health.
- Evaluate the human clinical evidence for polyphenol interventions and their mechanism of action in modulating microbial diversity and SCFA production.
- Identify optimal fibre types – including gold kiwifruit-derived fibres and resistant starch – and distinguish when these should be introduced or cautiously withheld.
- Describe the physiological benefits of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and the specific bacterial populations required to produce them.
- Apply evidence-based lifestyle strategies to mitigate factors that impair microbial health and support long-term bacterial resilience.

The Metabolite Connection: SCFAs & Polyphenols
Understanding the “post-biotic” effect is crucial for modern treatment plans.
Unlock the power of polyphenols: Learn how these compounds act as prebiotics to fuel diversity.Â
Master SCFA production: Understand which substrates drive the production of butyrate, acetate, and propionate for metabolic control.
Clinical Nuance: Fibre, Starch & Gold Kiwifruit
Not all prebiotics are created equal. This session will help you navigate the nuances of prescription.
Resistant Starch Mechanics: Define its prebiotic mechanisms and effects on beneficial populations.Â
Gold Kiwifruit Focus: Explain the role of these specific fibres and enzymes in gut health and apply current clinical evidence.Â
Personalised Application: Recognise when to push fibre and when to pause to prevent symptom aggravation.

I really enjoy your webinars. The presenters are engaging and concise, presenting information pertinent to the clinician setting rather than emphasising research facts is welcome. Personal stories also provide an authentic connection. Thank you
Desley LockThanks for this clear, insightful information. I have found any of the webinars or seminars I’ve attended have been useful, with little nuggets that pop back into mind when relevant.
Roz FitzgeraldExcellent in-depth training, provides extensive and well-illustrated explanations and summaries, easy to understand. Really appreciate this comprehensive self-paced practitioner training.
Duong TranI really enjoyed the webinar on Autoimmunity. The simplicity of the treatment protocols and the results were mind-blowing! The research studies to back up treatment protocols are great resources too.
The DFH education and webinars are awesome. I have learnt so much, thank you.
