“muciniphila and Bacteroides fragilis. When given antibiotics (which destroy gut bacteria, including mucin-degrading species), glucose-treated mice exhibited less inflammation and less severe colitis symptoms.”

“The pivotal role fiber plays in fueling good bacteria in the gut that act like "miniature drug factories" which produce compounds that regulate the immune system by increasing the number of T regulatory cells, which are specialized types of immune cells that keep the immune system in check and prevent autoimmune responses.”

Tim Ferriss discusses ketosis, the gut microbiome, and monitoring biomarkers to promote performance.

“Previous research demonstrates the efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation in treating infection with Clostridium difficile, a hospital-acquired infection that is difficult to treat with antibiotics, and a growing list of other diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, metabolic syndrome, neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism), and autoimmune diseases.”

“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.”

“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."”

“For example, sulforaphane promotes the urinary excretion of benzene and acrolein, toxic compounds present in air pollution. But sulforaphane also demonstrates remarkable antibacterial activity: It reduces populations of Helicobacter pylori, or H.”

“Some of the more unique components of breastmilk are human milk oligosaccharides, or HMOs – complex, indigestible sugars that serve no nutritional purpose. Rather, the primary role of HMOs is to serve as prebiotics to induce the growth or activity of beneficial bacteria in the infant gut.”
