“Several studies have identified the gut-brain relationship is bidirectional such that changes in the gut microbiome can affect behavior, and behavioral changes (ie. psychological stress) can affect the gut flora.”

“A surprising benefit for the gut microbiome Fahey’s work has revealed that sulforaphane is an effective treatment against Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium implicated in the cause of peptic ulcer disease and stomach cancer. The goal of traditional antibiotics in treating H.”

“The study did not find any lower risk of cancer recurrence for those who ate peanuts which are a legume and not a tree nut. Nuts are great sources of many micronutrients and both fermentable fiber (which feeds the gut microbiome) and non-fermentable fiber.”

“It appears that restricting carbohydrates at least for a very short period can result in a boost in bacteria that produce folate. It is unclear how long this microbiome shift can be sustained since this study only lasted two weeks.”

“I spoke with the gut experts, Drs. Justin and Erica Sonnenburg, about the importance of the gut microbiome in human health and the various foods (ie. fermentable fiber and other prebiotics) that provide our gut bacteria with the food they need to thrive.”

“Overcoming other aspects of bodyweight homeostasis might still prove challenging, however. Research from Dr. Eran Elinav's lab suggests that metabolic parameters normalize with weight loss, but characteristics of the microbiome remain unchanged.”

“Future studies could test different dosing schedules, include more diverse populations and directly track microbiome, metabolic, and genetic markers to clarify how berberine works and who benefits most.”
