🎉 Congratulations to our MScKin student, Alana Gaunce, on receiving funding through the MSSU Trainee Support Program!

Alana’s research investigates whether drinking kefir daily during pregnancy can support blood sugar regulation, improve the gut microbiome, and reduce the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Through a patient-oriented randomized controlled trial, the study will evaluate the effects of kefir while incorporating input from patient partners with lived experience of GDM.

Congratulations, Alana, on this well-deserved achievement! 👏❤️🖤

Are you pregnant and less than 14 weeks along?

We are exploring whether drinking kefir, a fermented dairy drink, during pregnancy may help lower the risk of gestational diabetes and support gut health.
Your participation will help advance GDM-prevention strategies for healthier pregnancies.

Plus, you’ll receive free kefir to drink daily until 24-28 weeks of pregnancy and up to $75!
