[kadence_element id="39760"]Gut health is the condition of your gut, the largest site of immune function in the body. It’s the bacteria and health of your digestive tract. The best way to understand gut health is to think about it like this: You have a garden in your backyard. That garden is your gut. If you feed that garden the right things, it will grow healthy vegetables. If you don’t, it will grow weeds. Gut health is essential for your overall health, and many health issues can be traced back to a poor gut. You might not realize how important your gut health is until something goes wrong. Poor gut health can lead to a variety of symptoms like bloating, gas, and stomach pain. However, it can also cause problems like anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
The human microbiome is the collective genomes of all of the microorganisms that live in and on our bodies. These microbes can be found on almost every surface of our bodies, from the soles of our feet to the top of our heads. Scientists estimate that the average person has around 10 trillion bacteria in their microbiome, which is about 10 times the number of cells in the human body. There are many reasons why you should care about your microbiome. It has been linked to everything from fighting off certain diseases to improving your sleep. In this article, we will explore how to boost your microbiome and improve your health.
The microbiome is the collection of all the bacteria, viruses, and other microbes that live on and in our bodies. In addition to aiding in digestion, these tiny organisms also have a profound impact on our overall health. An imbalance in the microbiome can lead to a variety of problems, including digestive issues, weight gain, allergies, and even mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Research suggests that diet plays a significant role in shaping and maintaining a healthy microbiome, and many diet plans are now designed to promote diversity and balance.
Creatine has spent decades as a gym supplement. You scoop it into a shake, you lift heavier, you move on. But researchers keep finding reasons to study creatine for parts of the body that have nothing to do with biceps. The brain tops that list. A new study from the University of Seville in Spain…
Here’s something most of my patients don’t know: when you lose weight, your fat cells don’t go away. They just get smaller, and they’re ready to fill back up the moment your habits slip. That’s a big reason so many people regain weight after a diet or after stopping a GLP-1 medication. Now researchers are…
If you have celiac disease, one slip with gluten can damage your gut, and a strict gluten-free diet is still the only treatment available. Even careful patients get caught out, and symptoms persist in up to 40 percent of people on the diet. That is why a new phase 2 trial is getting attention. In…
GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy help many people lose weight, but keeping it off after stopping the medication is hard. An experimental injection called CBL-514 takes a different approach. Instead of shrinking fat cells, it makes them die off on their own. In early human trials, it reduced both the fat under the skin…
Two groups of mice received the same amount of olive oil and the same amount of glucose. Only one group had a smaller blood sugar spike, and the difference was which one came first. The response behind it was not what you’d expect, since it involved glucagon, a hormone known for raising blood sugar, along…
You likely know that dietary fiber is important for basic digestion. What you might not realize is that keeping you regular is actually its secondary function. Fiber’s primary job is serving as the essential food source for the trillions of bacteria living inside your gut. Recent clinical studies reveal exactly how these microbes behave when…
You might assume your daily heartburn and bloating are just consequences of a bad diet or stress, but I frequently trace these exact symptoms back to a stubborn bacterial infection. Helicobacter pylori is a highly common bug that actively damages your stomach lining. Masking the pain with over-the-counter antacids will not cure it. I am…
As concerns about plastic pollution continue to grow, researchers are paying closer attention to the tiny plastic particles that make their way into our bodies every day. Microplastics and nanoplastics have been found in drinking water, food, and even the air we breathe, raising important questions about their potential effects on long-term health. Some studies…
As parents, we often think of nutrition as something that matters in the moment. We focus on helping our children grow, meeting developmental milestones, and ensuring they get enough nutrients. But emerging research suggests that what children eat during their earliest years may affect their health far into adulthood. A recent study has drawn attention…
