Microbiome Testing: What It Can and Can’t Tell You About Everyday Nutrition

Gut health has become one of the biggest wellness conversations of the last decade, and for good reason. The gut microbiome, which includes the bacteria and other microorganisms living mostly in the colon, plays a role in how the body interacts with food. Diet is one of the major factors that can shape the gut microbiome, alongside genetics, medication use, environment, sleep, stress, and health status.   That growing interest has led to a wave of at-home microbiome testing kits. These tests usually ask you to send in a stool sample, then return a report describing which microbes were detected, how your sample compares with a reference group, and what foods or supplements you may want to consider.

While policies and implementation may vary, the broader conversation is clear: Nutrition is not separate from healthcare, it is healthcare.

Enjoy Thanksgiving Without Guilt: Balanced Eating During the Holidays

Guilt does not improve nutrition or well-being. Eating regular meals before the holiday dinner helps prevent the quick, uncomfortable overeating many people experience.
