“The mechanism by which having a young microbiome increases lifespan is unclear but may have to do with reprogramming the immune system since gut bacteria are a major regulator of the immune system. Whether microbiome transplants from young animals from other species such as mice have any effect on lifespan needs to be tested.”

“The mice that were given a ketogenic diet also displayed an improved balance in the microbiome in the gut. It increased the relative abundance of beneficial gut microbiota (Akkermansia muciniphila and Lactobacillus) and reduced that of pro-inflammatory taxa (Desulfovibrio and Turicibacter). It is thought that the increased blood ketone levels play a role in the microbiome changes.”

“Adolescent obesity often persists into adulthood and raises cardiometabolic risks, but altering the gut microbiome may help shift long-term health trajectories. Researchers tested whether taking capsules containing gut microbes from healthy donors during adolescence could leave durable clinical and microbiome changes years later.”

“Intermittent fasting (every other day) increased gut bacteria diversity and reduced inflammation, demyelination, and axonal damage in multiple sclerosis (MS) animal model. A small pilot trial in humans with MS showed many similar changes to the gut microbiome and blood adipokines such as leptin.”

“Roughly half of the participants followed a Mediterranean diet for one year, while the other half, which served as the control group, ate their regular diets. Before and after the one-year intervention, the authors of the study profiled the microbial makeup of the participants' gut microbiome.”

“1,000 non-antibiotic drugs were tested against 40 representative gut bacterial strains and found that 24% of the drugs inhibited the growth of at least one bacterial strain in-vitro. These observations agree with the few clinical microbiome studies for which medication has been recorded to affect the gut microbiome.”

“It supports a model where microbiome conversion to NA may be an important determinant of NR/NMN's NAD‐boosting effects, implying individual microbiome differences could influence responsiveness, and that NAD "boosters" can work via different pharmacology.”

“A healthy person's immune response to any infection varies, subject to a vast array of factors, including genetics, previous exposure to pathogens, sleep patterns, microbiome composition, exercise, nutrition, gender, and biological age, among others.”

“These findings suggest that exposing infants born via cesarean section to their mother's vaginal fluids promotes appropriate neurodevelopment and corrects alterations in gut microbial populations. Learn more about the importance of establishing a healthy microbiome early in life in this clip featuring Dr. Eran Elinav.”

“00:18:00 - Breast milk contains more than 200 human milk oligosaccharides that feed the early infant's microbiome. Study. 00:19:21 - Children who are not breastfed have three times higher risk of allergies by the age of two.”
