New preprint on @medrxivpreprint.bsky.social from our 6-week RCT comparing two fermentable fibres with a non-fermentable control. We asked: • whether fibre effects depend on microbial fermentation • and whether microbiome differences explain variable responses 🔗 www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Multicenter RCT in @lancetgastrohep.bsky.social: FMT (with live microbes) prevents recurrent C. diff far better than fecal filtrates. Thanks to Dina Kao (@ualberta.bsky.social) & @tsbschm.bsky.social from @apcmicrobiomeirel.bsky.social), and whole team. 🔗 authors.elsevier.com/c/1lphg8nByr...

How has obesity treatment evolved, and where is it heading? Our new review in Obesity explores: ✔ The central role of nutrition ✔ Precision medicine & microbiome strategies ✔ Integration with emerging therapies Read here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #Obesity #Nutrition #PrecisionMedicine

I joined Dr. Karan Rajan to talk about the science of the gut microbiome, how it’s changed through industrialisation, how we can restore it, and the NiMe diet. Grateful, and humbled, to discuss the #microbiome on a channel with 2M followers. 🎥 Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb4d...

Great podcast with Anissa Armet PhD RD on our recent @cellpress.bsky.social about the 'Non-industrialized Microbiome Restore (NiMe) Diet'. Covers a lot of the science, but also how Anissa's personal journey with IBD inspired both the research and the diet itself.

Grateful to @natrevgastrohep.nature.com and Jordan Hindson for highlighting our recent @cellpress.bsky.social study on #microbiome restoration. Great to see our work featured in the Research Highlights section. 📄 Read the original paper: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... #MicrobiomeResearch #GutHealth

It is hard to determine habitat adaptations in host-associated bacteria, e.g. because strains might be allochthonous or mislabeled. Here we present aurora, a gwas tool that identifies autochthonous strains and the genes associated with their habitats. doi.org/10.1186/s130...

I have been teaching classes on the gut #microbiome for almost 20 years and always struggled to have a good book to recommend. Finally there is one. Fergus Shanahan's "Fast Facts: The Gut Microbiome" provides expert insight, is brilliant, and it is free. doi.org/10.1159/isbn...

Eat to support your #microbiome. Anissa Armet and I are thrilled to announce our FREE 'science cookbook' on The NiMe Diet, bit.ly/41BV0HW, covering the story behind our research published in @cp-cell.bsky.social. If around Cork, register freely for an evening with the Creators on March 10th.

Very much to our surprise, a strain of Limosilactobacillus reuteri drives severe pathology in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis. Pathology was driven by a secondary metabolite that hyperactivates the AhR receptor. See our publication in Cell Reports. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A new study led by Prof Jens Walter of @apcmicrobiomeirel.bsky.social reveals that a newly developed diet, inspired by the eating habits of non-industrialized societies, can significantly lower the risk of several chronic diseases. Read more here: www.researchireland.ie/news/non-ind...

Thank you to @naturerevmicro.bsky.social and Agustina Taglialegna for highlighting our work on microbiome restoration and the NiMe diet. Really nice summary.

Really nice to see my alma mater, @unihohenheim.bsky.social, post about our recent study in @cellpress.bsky.social. I spent most of my student years there (they have a historic park and a castle). Big thanks also to Stephan Bischoff and Dr. Benjamin Seethaler for another great collaboration.

Thank you @erictopol.bsky.social for highlighting our work. For those interested cooking some yummy healthy dishes that feed the #microbiome, all the recipes that were used in this human intervention trial are freely available on our instagram page. www.instagram.com/nimediet/

#weekendreading🔬 Cardiometabolic benefits of a non-industrialized-type diet are linked to gut microbiome modulation @cellpress.bsky.social #microsky #microbiome #diet www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Today we report a new compendium of human gut microbiomes with >168,000 samples By analyzing this massive dataset, we discovered distinct microbiome patterns across the globe, and show we can predict where a person lives just from their gut bacteria Now out in Cell: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Our study @cellpress.bsky.social finds healthy Canadians that consume a non-industrialized-type #diet can modulate their #microbiome, boost beneficial metabolites and improve their health. In just 3 weeks: LDL cholesterol ↓17% fasting glucose ↓6% CRP ↓ 14% www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
