“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.”

“The human gut is an important site for the production and metabolism of neurotransmitters like serotonin. Neurotransmitters in the gut regulate digestive processes, communicate with the brain directly through the enteric nervous system, and interact with the microbiome.”

“These findings add to the growing body of evidence to support the use of bacteriophages against drug-resistant microbes. Learn more about bacteriophages in this interview featuring gut microbiome expert Dr. Eran Elinav. View full publication.”

“The investigators found that participants who took antibiotics for at least two months over the previous four years were more likely to perform worse on neuropsychological tests than participants who did not take antibiotics.”

“02:11:17 - How poor sleep disrupts the gut microbiome. Study. 02:21:17 - How one cup of coffee in the evening can decrease deep sleep by about 20 percent — an amount that Dr. Walker suggests is equivalent to aging by 10 or 15 years.”

“00:50:06 - Determining personalized response to diet through continuous glucose monitors like the Dexcom and FreeStyle Libre and the evidence that glycemic response to food is extremely unique from individual to individual and determined by factors such as the content of the microbiome, genetics, and more.”

“Polyphenols - Plant nutrients that improve the gut barrier and enhance health in a number of other ways; learn more from our overview article on the topic. Episodes Dr. Eran Elinav on Microbiome Insights into Personalized Response to Diet, Obesity, and Leaky Gut.”

“Participants also provided blood samples for the assessment of inflammation and fecal samples for the characterization of the gut microbiome at numerous time points throughout the study.”

“Participants completed questionnaires about their health, performed cognitive testing with electroencephalogram (EGG) measurement, and provided a fecal sample for the sequencing of the gut microbiome.”

“Some of the blood pressure-lowering attributes of a plant-based diet include lower sodium content, higher potassium content, increased bioavailability of nitric oxide (a potent vasodilator), and beneficial effects on the microbiome.”
