“Gut bacteria from people with schizophrenia lead to schizophrenic-like traits and abnormal brain glutamate signaling when transplanted into mice whereas animals transplanted with gut bacteria from healthy people behaved normally.”

“[See our vitamin D overview article for more information about the interdependence of vitamin D and magnesium. Evidence suggests that proton-pump inhibitors (drugs that reduce stomach acid) impair magnesium absorption by inhibiting the action of magnesium transporters in the gut.”

“Gut microbes The gut-brain axis, a bidirectional signaling pathway between the gastrointestinal tract and the nervous system, is critical to mental health. Key elements of this pathway are the tens of trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that comprise the intestinal microbiota.”

“Prebiotics are food components that support the maintenance of a healthy microbiota and create an environment that is conducive to its survival. Prebiotic fermentation by gut microbiota produces short-chain fatty acids, including lactic acid, butyric acid, and propionic acid.”

“Interestingly, the ketogenic diet also altered the gut microbial composition in ADHD-like rats, especially microbes involved in amino acid and sugar metabolism. These findings suggest that the ketogenic diet may hold promise as a novel approach for mitigating ADHD-related behavioral challenges, possibly by influencing the gut microbiota.”

“Participants whose diets were low in dietary fiber experienced marked increases in butyrate production in their guts, likely due to increases in butyrate-producing microbes. However, participants whose diets were in high in dietary fiber experienced little change in the makeup of their gut microbes.”

“Furthermore, coffee positively modifies gut microbiota composition and reduces inflammation, further strengthening its metabolic advantages. Thus, regular coffee consumption represents a powerful preventive strategy against diabetes and related metabolic disorders.”

“A new study finds that the gut bacteria Bacteroides produces the neurotransmitter GABA and that people with major depression have fewer Bacteroides gut bacteria compared to healthy individuals.”

“Both black and green tea changed the ratio of bacteria in the gut which corresponded with lean body mass. Polyphenols specifically in black tea stimulate the growth of a species of gut bacteria called Pseudobutyrivibrio which increased levels of short-chain fatty acids, a type of bacterial metabolites that have been shown to alter the energy metabolism in the liver.”

“00:19:30 - Profound changes in gut microbiome occur with intermittent fasting. Study. 00:20:33 - Minocycline, a type of antibiotic, relieved symptoms of multiple sclerosis due to alterations in gut microbiome.”
