Dr Brad Leech will present at LM26: The Nature of Health, the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine's premier conference, bringing health professionals together in Hobart for three days of evidence-based, practical insights across the six pillars of Lifestyle Medicine. Titled "Integrating Microbiome Testing into Lifestyle Medicine: Enhancing Personalisation, Behaviour Change and Clinical Outcomes," this session explores where microbiome testing can be meaningfully integrated into lifestyle medicine — not as a replacement for foundational care, but as a tool to enhance precision, engagement and measurable clinical outcomes.

Brad will guide attendees through emerging research on how core lifestyle interventions — diet, physical activity and environmental exposure — directly shape microbial composition and function, including how nature exposure may increase microbial diversity through environmental microbial transfer, and how regular exercise is linked to reductions in microbiome-derived branched-chain amino acids. Through clinical examples, he will demonstrate when microbiome testing adds value to clinical decision-making and when standard lifestyle approaches remain sufficient, leaving attendees with a practical, cost-conscious framework for integrating microbiome-informed strategies into routine care.
