Explore how stomach acid, pancreatic enzymes, bile production, and nutrient absorption change with age—and how lifestyle factors and targeted digestive supplements may support healthy digestion after 50.
In addition to enhancing GABA and other neurotransmitters and hormones, probiotics promote the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which can stimulate the vagus nerve and influence neural activity in sleep-related brain regions. They also help reduce inflammation. These mechanisms are thought to contribute to improved sleep in patients who struggle with insomnia, making probiotics a safe and effective treatment consideration.
Weight management extends beyond counting calories, as we know that hormones, inflammation, digestive capacity, body composition, and even our gut microbiome can influence metabolism. The gut microbiome may influence how the body digests food, absorbs nutrients, and metabolizes macronutrients.
Explore how essential oils differ from conventional antibiotics through their multitarget mechanisms of action, microbiome-centered effects, and whole-person physiological influences. Learn evidence-informed principles of formulation, delivery, safety, medication interactions, and clinical applications for respiratory, digestive, and urinary health while supporting responsible antibiotic stewardship.
Among PD patients, those with SIBO and/or H. pylori had more unpredictable motor fluctuations. SIBO treatment resulted in significantly improved motor fluctuations without interfering with levodopa efficacy. Since PD is a progressive disease, optimizing gut health will need to be ongoing.
A new Nature study is reshaping how we think about coffee. Beyond caffeine, this daily ritual appears to remodel the gut microbiome and metabolome in ways that track with lower cardiometabolic risk. Here’s what the data suggest—and how to translate it for clinical practice.
In this episode of the OneMedicine Podcast, Kara Siedman, a registered dietitian, and Dr. Vivek Lal, the founder and CEO of ResBiotic, joined Rob Lutz for an in-depth discussion on the gut-lung axis and how the microbiome can impact respiratory and metabolic health. Key Takeaways: The importance of the gutRead
Join resbiotic’s Kara Siedman, RDN, CDCES, for a science-driven look at the Gut–X Axis, the emerging framework that highlights the gut microbiome’s influence on the lungs, digestive system, hormones and metabolism. This session will cover how dysbiosis and microbial metabolites drive systemic inflammation and chronic disease, withRead
The human microbiome represents a complex and profoundly influential inner ecosystem, consisting of trillions of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microbes. These microorganisms play a critical role in digestion, metabolism, immunity, metabolism, and mental health (Turnbaugh et al., 2007; Suez et al., 2019). They contribute to numerous physiological processes, including:
A new pilot trial highlights how probiotic and herbal supplementation may strengthen the Gut–Lung Axis, improve lung function, boost short-chain fatty acids, and enhance quality of life in adults with and without asthma.
