Let's Talk Inflammation and the Microbiome

Inflammation is a very sophisticated, protective, biological process, involving the immune system, which functions to remove or manage potentially harmful substances or infection-causing organisms.

Diverse diets enrich gut microbes

Diverse diets enrich gut microbes Published Thursday 17 March 2016 By Catharine Paddock PhD Source: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/308017.php   - - - - -  In a paper published in the journal Molecular Metabolism, scientists describe how health is compromised when we reduce the diversity of nutrients in our diet - because of the effect this has on the richness of our gut microbe population. Mark Heiman, from MicroBiome Therapeutics in New Orleans, LA, and Frank Greenway, from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, LA, explain that over the last 50 years, by reducing agro-diversity, changes in farming have reduced dietary diversity. More and more research...

Healthy Gut Bacteria – Diversity is the Key

Healthy Gut Bacteria – Diversity is the Key By Dr. David Perlmutter, MD Source: http://www.drperlmutter.com/healthy-gut-bacteria-diversity-key/  - - - - -  I recently had the opportunity to interview Dr. Mark Plotkin, a renowned ethnobotanist who has spent almost three decades studying traditional plant use with the traditional healers of tropical America. Previously, he served as Research Associate in ethnobotanical conservation at the Botanical Museum of Harvard University and now serves as president of the Amazon Conservation Team, an organization dedicated to studying and raising global awareness of the ever-increasing rates of bio-diversity loss in the Amazon region. Dr. Plotkin made it very clear to me that it...

Gut microbes influence the body's response to high-fat diet

Gut microbes influence the body's response to high-fat diet By Catharine Paddock PhD Published Thursday 6 July 2017 Source: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318285.php  - - - - -  The results of a new study provide evidence that it could be possible to tailor diets to individual patients, based on the signature of their gut microbiome. New research explains why the same high-fat diet affects people differently. The team found that they could predict which mice would gain more weight and develop glucose intolerance after switching to a high-fat diet by using gut microbe signatures that were present before the switch. In a paper published in Cell...

Gut microbes and nutrition

Gut microbes and nutrition

In addition to helping themselves to energy from the food we eat, gut microbes are essential to the availability of nutrients for ourselves. Gut bacteria help us break down complex molecules in meats and vegetables, for example. Without the aid of gut bacteria, plant cellulose is indigestible. Gut microbes may also have an influence on our cravings and feelings of being full after eating via their metabolic activities. The diversity of our microbiota is related to the diversity of our diet, and adolescents trying out a wide variety of foods display a more varied gut microbiota than adults who follow...
