“"10-14 hours of fasting when we get up in the morning means that we have given our gut rest." - Dr. Satchin Panda". In addition to these important and very practical how-to tidbits, we dive into lots of interesting new territory as well, including...”

“But what triggers the protein's aggregation has long remained a mystery. New research suggests that bacteria in the gut drive alpha-synuclein aggregation, contributing to the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease.”

“FTA: > Postmenopausal women with diverse gut bacteria exhibit a more favorable ratio of estrogen metabolites, which is associated with reduced risk for breast cancer, compared to women with less microbial variation, according to a new study.”

“The gut microbiome influences the development of social skills later in life, a recent study in fish has found. Fish that have delayed microbiome development show distinct differences in their brain structure and behavior compared to those with appropriately timed development.”

“In this Aliquot, I'll summarize the latest research on calcium absorption, supplementation, and dietary sources, exploring how factors like the food matrix and gut health influence its effects.”

“FTA: > New research provides details on how gut bacteria turn a nutrient found in red meat into metabolites that increase the risk of developing heart disease. The findings may lead to new strategies for safeguarding individuals' cardiovascular health.”

“These results are consistent with the reported neuroprotective effects of this drug. BDNF and leaky gut BDNF's role as a growth factor can produce counterintuitive effects related to gastrointestinal disorders.”

“FTA: > The presence of Clostridia, a common class of gut bacteria, protects against food allergies, a new study in mice finds. The discovery points toward probiotic therapies for this so-far untreatable condition. Food allergies affect 15 million Americans, including one in 13 children, who live with this potentially life-threatening disease that currently has no cure, researchers note.”

“Nevertheless, the findings suggest that gut bacteria from understudied animals may offer promising starting points for developing new cancer treatments. In Aliquot #141, I explore how everyday lifestyle choices influence cancer risk.”

“Here’s an interesting report that didn't make it into this issue of the Digest. An abundance of evidence points to robust links between the gut microbiota and muscle mass and strength. This review describes these mechanisms and presents strategies for mitigating muscle loss in aging, including dietary fiber intake, pre- and probiotic intake, and exercise.”
