Psst... I know you're out there, people living with IBS. You're the one in ten. Your gut rules your life. GOOD NEWS -- there's a new resource that lays everything out & helps you address IBS step by step. Hot off the press! Check it out: tinyurl.com/bdhxcjj4 #IBS #IBSawareness

The NCCIH is looking for research on novel microbial strains or mechanisms for microbial-based therapeutics addressing specific health outcomes. See here for more details on this funding opportunity: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Loving this cartoonists' rendering of my talk in Amsterdam last month. The idea: focusing on the science of gut health can bring new energy to conversations about preventative health & extending 'healthspan'. Diet & lifestyle take center stage. (Thank you to Amsterdam Green Campus for this output!)

Wanna talk diet & IBD? Join this virtual Atlanta-based group on Thursday night (7pm Eastern), where I'll chat with the amazing Dr. Aja McCutchen about all things gut health & microbiome. us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Establishing causality between the microbiome & disease has been tougher than expected. A group of experts recently published this consensus on the way forward: Preclinical models are necessary; multi-omics too. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is fun -- an article on WHY gut health is such a big deal and how paying attention to gut health cuts through all the noise about health. (In Dutch but your browser may be able to translate it to English...) www.buikbelang.nl/nieuws/voeds... (Thought of you, @elisabethbik.bsky.social!)

I'm excited to post about cool microbiome papers again -- I can't stop thinking about this one. It shows (in mice) that a gene mutation contributing to developmental stuttering is associated with a certain gut microbiota. Akkermansia (normally good!) is increased. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Yikes I just saw this was up for pre-order on Amazon -- my next book, IBS For Dummies! Super excited but excuse me while I go write the last 25% real quick... 😅

Hi friends! I'm here. It's been a bit painful to let go of the other platform because it used to be such an enjoyable place, but I find no value in spending time there these days. I continue to write words and more words... about gut health, the microbiome, and mystery topics to be announced soon 🎉
