“These findings suggest that weight-loss interventions vary in their capacity to overcome the body's appetite feedback circuits, influencing their effectiveness. Unfortunately, many people regain weight after successful weight loss, possibly due to changes in their gut microbiome.”

“These results reveal the potential benefits of fecal microbiota transplantation from young donors as a therapy to promote healthy aging. Link to full publication. Learn more about how the gut microbiome regulates immune cell types in this video featuring Dr. Rhonda Patrick.”

“When the gut microbiome was depleted with antibiotics, or replaced with microbes from MDD patients, mice showed a smaller rise in blood creatine after supplementation and lost much of creatine's behavioral benefit.”

“Fiber supports gut health by reducing gut transit time, which lowers the risk of conditions like diverticulitis and colorectal cancer. Fiber fuels the gut microbiome, producing short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, which benefit metabolic health.”

“A key player in their regulation is the gut microbiome – the community of microbes that resides in the intestinal tract. Findings from a new study show indicate that antibiotic use early in life alters neuropeptide signaling pathways that influence behavioral development.”

“This mismatch appears to increase hunger and alter brain connectivity in ways that vary depending on body weight. Artificial sweeteners also affect the gut microbiome. Learn more in this clip featuring Dr. Eran Elinav.”

“Another type of gut bacteria, called Lactobacillus rhamnosus, has been shown to increase GABA in the brains of mice via the vagal nerve making them less anxious.”

“This incident led to the creation of the first animal models of Parkinson's disease and validated the idea that environmental exposure to toxicants, the burden of which sometimes can be seen clinically through evidence of increased xenobiotic metabolism in the gut microbiome, could contribute to a neurodegenerative disorder.”

“They are produced by gut microbes during the fermentation of dietary fiber and reflect the overall health of the gut microbiome. Short-chain fatty acids play critical roles in many aspects of health, including the maintenance of healthy blood pressure.”
