Article: Gut Microbiome

How important is your gut microbiome? Does it talk to the rest of your body?
A DUKE University study would indicate, yes it does communicate with the rest of the body. Still needs a confirmation study.

Interesting. I guess in a way it parallels what happens with GLP-1 meds.
Before reading the article, my first reaction to the question “How important is your gut microbiome?” was “not important enough to cause me to eat sauerkraut”. 😉
(I read the article at the Duke website below because the link about wouldn’t let me opt out of cookies. Yup, I’m that guy. 🤷🏻♂️

The new science of the gut microbiome is still in its infancy, but there does seem to be some truth to the saying, "you are what you eat" You can even get your microbiome analyzed for a hefty price, but how to practically use the information is missing.
