“Personalized Postprandial Glucose Response-Targeting Diet Versus Mediterranean Diet for Glycemic Control in Prediabetes. Personalized Gut Mucosal Colonization Resistance to Empiric Probiotics Is Associated with Unique Host and Microbiome Features.”

“Many studies suggest that short-chain fatty acids derived from the gut microbiota promote the expansion of T-regulatory cells, maintain gut barrier function, regulate cytokine production, and support immune cell populations. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes how the body's microbiome affects immune function.”

“A growing body of evidence suggests that genes play a small role in configuring the microbiome, but the environment is the dominant factor. Dr. Elinav describes how an over-sterilized environment and exposure to antibiotics in early life may harm the microbiome.”

“Sleep deprivation alters the overall gut microbial make-up, which can promote dysregulation of the microbiome and in turn, altered sleep. In this clip, Dr. Matthew Walker discusses the role that sleep plays in modulating the gut microbiome.”

“A diverse microbiome may protect against metabolic diseases. The microbiome, shaped early in life, is influenced by environmental factors including, the food we eat, where we live, and the medicines we take.”

“Dr. Elinav outlines his research demonstrating that a person's microbiome shifts in a predictable manner over the course of a day. Both what and surprisingly when we eat play important roles in determining the composition and function of the gut microbiome.”

“Dr. Snyder's laboratory is researching how different types of fiber favor specific bacterial strains that influence health status. In this clip, Dr. Michael Snyder describes how the human microbiome plays a key role in health, immunity, and nutrition.”

“A recent finding in Dr. Elinav's lab suggests that smoking cessation-associated weight gain — a common complaint among people attempting to quit smoking — may be influenced by the gut microbiome. In this clip, Dr. Eran Elinav discusses generalizable ways to foster a healthy gut microbiome.”

“A second trial, called PREDICT, showed that microbial and host factors could predict a person's triglyceride levels. Dr. Elinav speculates whether inter-individual microbiome differences confound research studies.”
