The Gut Microbiome and Health Impacts

Facebook Twitter

This collection includes resources that discuss the connection between the gut microbiome and human health. The topics are interrelated, so consult the pages on inflammation and leaky gut/endotoxemia along with specific concerns.

Gut issues are only one piece of the puzzle in chronic illness; do not rely only on what you find here. Also seek out medical help if you are ill.

Studies: Mice aren't people. Studies based on what people remembered eating in the past aren't that accurate. Controlled studies in nutrition are hard to do. Sometimes researchers overstate their findings or are unaware of confounding factors. Occasionally studies have conflicting results with others. Keep that in mind when reading the results.

Gut Inflammation: 12 Causes (and 12 Effects) I’ve previously discussed how your gut microbiome influences essentially every aspect of your health.

Gut Inflammation: 12 Causes (and 12 Effects)

However, gut inflammation is also a crucial determinant of intestinal and whole-body health. Read on to learn how various diet and lifestyle factors cause gut inflammation, the health consequences of a chronically inflamed gut, and practical strategies for alleviating inflammation and restoring gut health. Gut inflammation can contribute to the development of a wide range of serious conditions like type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, cardiovascular disease, and more.

Certainly the potential for these agents and methods are exciting, but what where is the line, now, between dangerous hype and the state of the art research being done? The Gut-Brain Connection, Mental Illness, and Disease. Source: wikimedia commons We are never truly alone.

The Gut-Brain Connection, Mental Illness, and Disease

On our skin, in our gums, and in our guts live 100 trillion organisms, altogether known as the microbiome. These beasties comprise 90% of the cells of our bodies, though these cells are so tiny in size that it appears our own human cells predominate. It is only recently that we have begun to study these organisms with any depth.
