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. 

When we think about hospitals, we think about healing. Doctors, nurses, medications, and life-saving technology all play a critical role. But there’s one piece of the puzzle that’s been left out of the spotlight: nutritional education. Recently, there has been renewed attention on improving the quality of food served in hospitals, with a growing emphasis on aligning meals with established dietary guidelines and patient-specific nutritional needs. While policies and implementation may vary, the broader conversation is clear: Nutrition is not separate from healthcare, it is healthcare.
