Welcome back for episode 87 of The Bodybuilding Dietitians Podcast!

On this week's episode Tyarra and Jack interviewed Dr. Graham Radford-Smith.

Graham is a gastroenterologist with extensive clinical (consultative and procedural) experience across a wide range of GI disorders. He specializes in the fields of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD – Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis) and non- inflammatory gut disorders. Graham developed the Crohn’s and Colitis centre at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital (RBWH) together with Australia’s first series of IBD specialist clinics and a Telehealth program for regional Queensland. He introduced IBD specialist nursing during this period.

Graham is an honorary group leader at the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute where he works with his team in the Gut Health research group, Associate Professor within the Faculty of Medicine, University of Queensland, Chair of the ANZ IBD consortium of clinicians, and Chair of Crohn’s Colitis Cure (a charity supporting research and clinical practice for clients with IBD).

In this episode Graham provided highly valuable insight into answering and discussing the following topics:

- Factors that influence gut health

- Factors that influence the gut microbiota and microbiome

- Introduction to Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis – the inflammatory bowel diseases

- Differentiating IBD from functional GI disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome
