Gut-Skin Connection Uncovered

Microbial imbalance ages your skin. Microbial health is intimately connected to age-related physical and intellectual decline, but the relationship between the gut microbiome and how your skin ages is less known. New studies show a direct link between cellular senescence and microbial imbalance (dysbiosis). Cellular senescence is simply the process of getting older. As cells age, they […]

Anthocyanins Influence Gut Microbes & Delay Age-Related Decline

Compounds in certain foods prevent age-related disorders. Anthocyanins are a group of chemical compounds in plants that are associated with anti-aging and disease prevention. They’re commonly found in red, purple, and blue fruits and vegetables and they’re strongly associated with healthy aging. Anthocyanins modulate the gut microbiome to help prevent age-related cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative […]

Gut Microbiome Holds Key To Healthy Aging

The gut microbiome is key to healthy aging. We all experience physical and cognitive age-related decline – which can begin as early as age 30! But the onset and rate of this decline could depend heavily on your gut microbiome. “Healthy aging” – or delayed age-related decline – is something we all aspire to and […]

Diet Superior To Medications For Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

The study, presented at Digestive Disease Week 2022, was conducted in about 300 patients with IBS. The patients were divided into three treatment categories: low carb, low FODMAPs, or a medication treatment plan. Food was delivered to patients in the dietary intervention groups. IBS symptom severity was assessed before and after the 4-week intervention period. […]

Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Increase Cancer Risk

Liver cancer is now the 6th most common cause of cancer deaths in the US. Some risk factors are well known, like viral hepatitis, smoking, alcohol, obesity, diabetes, and cirrhosis (a late-stage liver disease that permanently damages the tissue). But more than 40% of liver cancers can’t be explained by any of those known risk […]

Healthy Plant-Based Diet Reduces Breast Cancer Risk

Researchers looked at adherence to a healthy plant-based diet and its association with breast cancer risk in over 65,000 women. Unique to this study, the quality of plant-based foods consumed was taken into consideration. Plant foods were categorized into two groups: healthy plant foods (including whole grains, fruit, vegetables, nuts, legumes, vegetable oils, and tea) […]

Regular Alcohol Consumption Alters the Gut Microbiome

A March 2022 review study published in Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology found that people with alcohol use disorder (AUD) have specific changes in their gut microbiome that include decreases in “good” bacteria like Faecalibacterium, which have anti-inflammatory properties, and Roseburia, which help maintain the integrity of the gut barrier. Too much alcohol can […]

Is Your Liver Healthy?

As alcohol use has increased exponentially during the pandemic, this is a question many of us may be thinking about. In fact, a recent study found that alcohol-associated liver disease is a leading contributor to liver-associated cancer deaths worldwide. Alcohol consumption can cause excessive fat buildup in the liver (fatty liver or hepatic steatosis), inflammation […]

Does Alcohol Increase Colon Cancer Risk?

Alcohol increases colon cancer risk, independent of genetic risk. The study, published in May of this year in EClinical Medicine, looked at alcohol consumption and its association with colorectal cancer risk in over 9,000 patients. Alcohol consumption was self-reported using the following categories: abstinent (0g/d), low (less than 1 drink daily), low to moderate (1 […]
