What Can a Gut Microbiome Test Reveal? A Real Case Study

A gut microbiome test cannot diagnose disease, but it can surface microbial patterns that provide a deeper layer of clinical information and understanding to care management. In this case, a reassuring wellness score sat on top of a microbiome that closely resembled inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The individual was later found to have ulcerative colitis, and that single fact turned a set of scores into a clear, personalised picture.

Importance of a Healthy Gut Microbiome in Pregnant Mothers

Mothers have brought life into this world by carrying all of us inside their wombs with care and love. Today, we will be looking at the beginning of motherhood — pregnancy.

Diabetes and the Gut Microbiome

One of the ways your diet affects your health status is by modulating the composition of your gut microbiota. It has been found that normal gut microbiota affects the development of the immune system, nutrient absorption, tissue generation and bone homeostasis metabolism.

Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes: What’s the Deal?

The gut microbiome is the collection of bacteria, archaea, and eukarya that reside in the human gastrointestinal tract. Due to its roles in a broad range of physiological functions, the gut microbiome is now thought of as an organ of the body.

Bacterial Spotlight: Lactobacillus

Just like you and me, bacteria have families too. One such family is the Lactobacillaceae, a group of bacteria characterized by their lactic acid-producing capabilities. Family members generally share the same characteristics. For example, Lactobacilliceae have the ability to survive in the presence of acid and bile in the gut environment.

Does Geography Affect the Gut Microbiome?

Populations that live in different regions of the world have varying taxonomic compositions. Geographical location has an impact on the microbial populations due to prominent differences in diet across geographic regions. The abundance of a certain enterotype varies from region to region, thus resulting in gut microbial differences. So YES, geography does affect the microbiome!

Bacterial Spotlight: All About Bifidobacteria

There are trillions of bacteria that reside in the body. Bifidobacteria is found in the colon too. Some of the good bacteria in the colon help break down dietary fibre into vitamins and short chain fatty acids that are essential for the body.

Weight Management and the Gut Microbiome

Did you know that a healthy gut microbiome is an essential part of your weight management journey? We have a mutualistic relationship with our gut whereby our health can benefit from a diverse gut microbiome.

Prebiotics, Probiotics, and Personalised Nutrition

Prebiotics and probiotics are not terms that are strangers to any of us. Prebiotics and probiotics are most commonly consumed to boost gut health by improving the diversity of the gut microbiome. Research has shown that different individuals may have varying dietary responses due to our unique gut microbiota.
