“The fascinating way Dr. Panda is using human anecdote from his trial to ask new scientific questions he wouldn't think to ask and then going back to animal data to figure it out and how this unique approach forms a sort of closed loop pattern: animal → human feedback → back to animal for mechanism.”

“When this barrier breaks down, as in, intestinal permeability, also known as "leaky gut," microbes and their metabolites translocate out of the intestinal lumen and influence the health and function of distant tissues, such as the brain, connective tissues, sometimes promoting a state known as "metabolic endotoxemia."”

“A healthy intestinal barrier limits the transport of pathogens and endotoxins from the gut to the bloodstream; however, increased gut permeability (known as "leaky gut") raises endotoxin levels, leading to metabolic endotoxemia.”

“Choline is particularly important during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but some evidence suggests that choline supplementation could carry some risks. In this Aliquot, I talk about the science surrounding choline.”

“Microbial responses to individual components of a person's diet may influence host health. Food ingredients, such as artificial sweeteners and dietary emulsifiers, are typically thought to be inert, however, recent evidence suggests they impact gut microbes, ultimately influencing human health.”

“In this Aliquot, along with Dr. Eran Elinav, I explore how gluten affects the gut barrier, who actually needs to avoid it, and the practical strategies that can help you build a more resilient gut.”

“Poor sleep reduces the body's insulin sensitivity and changes a person's appetite, increasing the preference for high carbohydrate foods like pizza, pasta, and sweets. Lack of sleep also alters the gut microbiota and impairs immunity, putting us at risk for developing acute illnesses like colds and flu.”
