How modern diets are affecting our gut health | Restore our microbes

Extended episode | Homeostasis as a host and the microbiota-gut-brain axis

How hosting 38 trillion microbes affects our microbiota-gut-brain axis | This episode is a breakdown of the fascinating relationship between our gut, brain, and overall health. From gut microbes to brain signaling and inflammation, we’ll explore how this vital connection shapes our well-being. Let’s dive into the science behind the Microbiota-Gut-Brain axis on this episode of Lay Terms!" References Dong, T. S. et al. Gut Microbes 14, 2051999 (2022). Ashique, S. et al. Heliyon 10, (2024).

How modern diets are affecting our gut health | Restore our microbes

Join us today on Lay terms as we explore the fascinating world of microbiome science and its transformative role in nutrition in a short byte. Today, we'll uncover how modern dietary guidelines emphasize whole-plant foods, rich in fibre that nourish beneficial gut bacteria, producing short-chain fatty acids crucial for gut health and metabolism. We'll also look at the challenges posed by ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and the potential of probiotics and ancestral diets to restore gut health. Tune in as we rethink the link between what we eat, our microbiome, and overall health! References Armet, A. M. et al.
