Researchers are discovering that there is a whole world inside us, almost another organ, that has a huge effect on our body and mind. This is known as the microbiome and getting it in order can help you take control of everything from your weight to your mental health. And maybe if you do take care of your gut, your abs will follow suit.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Ch2\u003EWhat is the microbiome?\u003C/h2\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EThe collection of microbes that live in and on your body are known as the microbiota. The microbiome are the genes that live inside these microbes. These genes influence how your body operates in a big way and even outnumbers human genes by an incredible ration of 100:1. Every one of us has a unique microbiota and a unique microbiome. They are like snowflakes. The ones that live in your body are determined by what you are exposed to and therefore change constantly. Your geography, health, stress, diet, age, gender, every surface you touch all impact the makeup of your microbiota.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EOk, let’s talk gut facts now. The microbiota is made up of a lot of microorganisms, as in trillions. Bacteria are the main substance with between 30 and 50 trillion cells. Our human bodies contain about 37 trillion human cells, for comparison. Don’t freak out though – this is only by numbers. By weight, the microbes are much smaller than human cells.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cdiv class=\"slate-resizable-image-embed slate-image-embed__resize-full-width\"\u003E \n \u003Cimg alt=\"No alt text provided for this image\" data-media-urn=\"\" data-li-src=\"https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/C4D12AQFGM7Fx5sa2lw/article-inline_image-shrink_1000_1488/article-inline_image-shrink_1000_1488/0/1556542644727?e=1739404800&v=beta&t=53gf6an49vbGRNdSwHtQUoDaHbJvlPCC4xIEREzd34Y\" src=\"//:0\"\u003E \n \u003C/div\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EScientists estimate that we carry roughly three pounds of bacteria in our intestines. Our individual microbiome is as special as our fingerprints and has hundreds of different types of bacteria. The exact number of bacteria changes throughout the day though and is always turning over.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EHave you had a cold virus yet this year? Most times, that’s what we think of when we hear virus. It’s a literal dirty word. (Your coworker who is always sick because his kid is in daycare is your least favorite person.) However, the most plentiful thing in our microbiota are viruses but the good kind. The ones in our gut are bacteriophages, which mean they infect gut bacteria cells but don’t harm them. They have a symbiotic relationship where the viruses transfer beneficial genes.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EWhen new bacteria are introduced into your gut through diet or probiotics, the viral cells help the bacteria survive by transferring genetic code.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Ch2\u003EThe different things in the body that gut health impacts\u003C/h2\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EResearch is beginning to show how important the microbiome is to our overall health and it is so central to our operations that is essentially operating like an organ. It impacts aging, digestion, our immune system, mood, and cognitive function.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EBacteria in our guts produce enzymes that support digestion, especially the healthy and complex sugars that are found in plant foods. They also provide B vitamins, vitamin K, and short chain fatty acids. The microbiota also influences metabolic rate. Now do we have your attention? Who doesn’t want to improve their metabolic rate?\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EThe foundation of your immune system is a strong microbiome. When you are born, your gut is a clean slate. Exposure to microbes gives education to train the immune system on how to respond to different organisms. This is the way the immune system balances the relationship of the body and the microbes in it. Harmful organisms are taken care of and helpful organisms exist in harmony and provide good overall health.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EThe makeup of the mother’s vaginal microbiota changes during pregnancy and is very influential to a baby. Babies born vaginally are exposed to different bacteria than babies who are born via Caesarean section. Likewise, babies born at home have different exposures than babies born in hospitals. As the baby grows, their microbiome changes. Only about 100 microbes exist during the first few months of life. By the time they reach age 3, a child’s microbiota is closer to 1,000 species of microbes and is close to adult microbiota. Puberty has a significant impact on the change in the composition of the microbiota.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Ch2\u003EHistory and current relevance of gut health\u003C/h2\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EYou may have only recently heard of “gut health,” but scientist have known about microorganisms for hundreds of years, beginning in 1673 when Antony van Leeuwenhoek informed the Royal Society of London about the discovery of “animalcules.” Leeuwenhoek found microbes everywhere with the help of his microscope but no one else paid attention until about 1870 when scientists realized their role in the cause and spread of disease. Before that, doctors thought that bad air caused disease. Then Robert Koch proved that tiny microorganisms were to blame and his discovery solidified that germ theory was valid – certain microbes cause specific diseases.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EPeople then began to realize that cleanliness was super important for public health and started bathing daily, soap became a basic household necessity, and doctors and surgeons began washing their hands and sanitizing their instruments. That seems wild now, but before the discovery of “germs,” people just didn’t wash things and neither did doctors. This also led to public health initiatives to limit the spread of disease and save lives.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EUntil recently, scientists have focused on how pathogenic microbes affect humans in a negative way. Now there is the realization that some microorganisms are actually beneficial, enter gut health. More attention is being given to the microbiome and its role in overall health and immunity.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Ch2\u003EThe gut-brain connection\u003C/h2\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EMore than just an ill-advised late-night trip to get fast food tacos, did you know that your gut health could affect your mood and behavior?\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cdiv class=\"slate-resizable-image-embed slate-image-embed__resize-full-width\"\u003E \n \u003Cimg alt=\"No alt text provided for this image\" data-media-urn=\"\" data-li-src=\"https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/C4D12AQECz2OtaHt6gw/article-inline_image-shrink_1000_1488/article-inline_image-shrink_1000_1488/0/1556542658784?e=1739404800&v=beta&t=npmuR3IeU7yS-oA36g9GAXNcLeYeV104-sVCpUdS7W8\" src=\"//:0\"\u003E \n \u003C/div\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EScientists have known there is some connection between gut health and mental health since the early 1900s. Scientists and doctors emphasized the relationship between the two but by 1930, opinions reversed and it was thought that mental health disorders influenced gastrointestinal disorders. The renewed interest in gut health has revealed that there is a close relation between behavioral issues, mood, and a bacterial imbalance.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EEven though there are a number of factors that influence the condition of your gut microbiota and its environment, your diet is a major one. Immune system health is a close second. Just more “disappointing” news to eat better, right?\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003ELet’s get a little science-y for a bit here. Your gut is connected to your brain in three ways: the vagus nerve, the enteric nervous system, and the gut-brain axis.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cul\u003E \n \u003Cli\u003EThe vagus nerve runs from your brain stem down into the neck, thorax, and abdomen and supplies motor parasympathetic fibers to all the organs except the adrenal glands. It helps regulate heart rate, speech, sweating, and various gastrointestinal functions.\u003C/li\u003E \n \u003Cli\u003EThe enteric nervous system connects with the central nervous system (CNS) and has local and central sensory neurons in the gut wall that monitor the conditions. There are other local circuit neurons that integrate the information and make it so the motor neurons regulate the activity of the smooth muscles in your gut wall as well as glandular secretions like digestive enzymes, mucus, stomach acid, and bile. It is referred to as the “second brain” because it can operate by itself and communicate with the CNS.\u003C/li\u003E \n \u003Cli\u003EThe gut-brain axis links the emotional and cognitive centers of the brain with the peripheral intestinal functions. Evidence from animal studies suggest that gut microorganisms can activate the vagus nerve and has a critical role in mediating effects on the brain and your behavior.\u003C/li\u003E \n \u003C/ul\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EBacteria and anxiety and depression have interactions that go both ways. A 2009 study found that male pup rats’ microbiota was altered when they were stressed from being separated from their mother. While they were only separated for three hours a day for 11 days, it was enough for researchers to conclude that it might make them more vulnerable to disease later in life, like depression or irritable bowel syndrome.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EYour gut microbiota influences serotonin and dopamine production – your “feel good” chemicals. Did you know that over 90 percent of your serotonin is found in your gut? Well, it is, and it is a key regulator of gastrointestinal motility. The enteric nervous system (from above) uses more than 30 neurotransmitters, including serotonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003ESome depressed rats were used in a 2014 study and given a strain of probiotics which resulted in a reversal of negative behavior and balance of the immune system. The probiotics had a positive therapeutic effect on the anxiety and depression symptoms of the rats.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Ch2\u003EHow your gut impacts your sleep\u003C/h2\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EHow you sleep and your microbiome co-exist on a two-way street – the microbiota has an effect on how we sleep and sleep and circadian rhythms appear to have an effect on the gut bacteria. It’s still being researched, but it looks like not enough sleep quickly has an adverse effect on your microbiome.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003ESwedish and German scientists conducted an experiment in 2016 using nine healthy and normal-weight young men. After just two nights of partial sleep deprivation, they found a significant decrease in the type of beneficial bacteria, changes to the composition of microorganisms in the microbiome that are specifically linked to obesity and type 2 diabetes, and a significant decrease in insulin sensitivity. After only TWO nights. Whoa.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EKent State researchers did another study in 2017 to investigate the link between relationship between poor sleep and age-related cognitive decline and the role of the microbiome. A group of adults ages 50 to 85 were studied and they found strong connections between higher sleep quality, better cognitive function, and higher levels of beneficial gut microbes.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EWe should be paying attention to our brain function for sure, but for vanity’s sake let’s also talk about how fragmented sleep affects the microbiome and your metabolic health. Research indicates that fragmented sleep plays a part in the microbiome effects on metabolic health by triggering inflammation that leads to metabolic dysfunction. It’s a complicated relationship but there is growing evidence that sleep and the microbiome are intertwined. If you can take steps now to sleep better and address issues of poor sleep, you can help protect your metabolic health and reduce risks for weight gain and diabetes.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Ch2\u003EWarning signs of an unhealthy gut\u003C/h2\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003ESo, how will you know if you have an unhealthy gut environment brewing in there?

One of the most important jobs of the gut is to prevent foreign substances from entering the body and when the intestinal barrier is permeable, protein molecules can escape and enter the bloodstream. Your body will mount an attack on them and the immune response shows up as food intolerance.\u003C/li\u003E \n \u003Cli\u003EMoodiness, anxiety, and depression – Most of your serotonin and roughly half of your dopamine is made in your gut so if you have a “leaky gut” your body may lose those. Your gut won’t be able to absorb the right nutrition or micronutrients if it’s all leaking out. Treating gut issues can be a critical part of managing mental health.\u003C/li\u003E \n \u003Cli\u003ESkin issues like eczema – Food intolerance can be visible through the presence of eczema.\u003C/li\u003E \n \u003Cli\u003EDiabetes – Russian researchers were able to link the level of glucose intolerance with the presence of three types of microbiota: Blautia, Serratia, and Akkermansia bacteria.

Maintain Telomeres\u003C/h2\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EBiological aging is defined by telomeres, which are caps at the ends of chromosomes protecting the integrity of our information-carrying DNA, known to be involved in reversing aging.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EWith every cell division, a chunk of chromosomes is lost, shortening telomeres over time. Cells are constantly dividing to create new cells and to compensate for damage or cell death.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EThe number of times cells divide in a set period of time depends on which part of the body they are part of.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EFor example, as you finish reading this article, assuming it takes 5 minutes, you will have lost an average of 80,000 skin cells. These all have to be replaced, through cell division, with new, but “older,” cells of shorter telomeres.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EAs telomeres shorten, cells approach their division limit, called the Hayflick limit, defined by factors like cell type. When telomeres run out, cells of that lineage reach senescence, meaning they can no longer divide [\u003Ca href=\"https://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/fulltext/2015/11000/Movement_Based_Behaviors_and_Leukocyte_Telomere.12.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003ER\u003C/a\u003E].\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EThough cellular senescence is protective, it ironically also contributes to the development of age-related diseases, organ deterioration, and overall fatigue because there are fewer cells over time to perform the same tasks.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EMaintaining telomere lengths, therefore, offers longevity, healthy aging, and an energized body. One easy, cost-effective, and research-backed way to maintain telomeres is through physical exercise.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EAn important study in Germany done in 2010, found that telomere shortening was reduced by a staggering 75% in middle-aged marathon runners [\u003Ca href=\"https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/27/phys-ed-how-exercising-keeps-your-cells-young/?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003ER\u003C/a\u003E]. Though it may sound obvious to say that exercise would help healthy aging, it is worth noting the degree to which this is the case.

Factors like genetics, race, and body composition influence the norm, as does aging.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EThere is thought to be an age-dependent drop in testosterone levels in men, due to testicular dysfunction or aging, thought to start between ages 30-40, and declining at a rate of 1.6% every year [\u003Ca href=\"https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/87/2/589/2846777\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003ER\u003C/a\u003E].\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EIn middle-aged men, body composition plays a significant role in defining ideal testosterone levels [\u003Ca href=\"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0039128X16301052?via%253Dihub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003ER\u003C/a\u003E]. Men with less fat and more lean muscle have higher levels of testosterone.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003EFurthermore, with age, testosterone is increasingly converted into estradiol, a form of estrogen.

When strength training is combined with supplements, the results are outstanding. There are many readily available supplements that advertise their positive effects on muscle gain. However, most of them have unsubstantiated claims, with creatine being one of the exceptions.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003ECreatine is a protein that is taken up by skeletal muscle, where it improves high-intensity exercise capacity, allowing one to train with heavier weights during resistance training [\u003Ca href=\"https://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/Testosterone_aging_and_the_mind\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003ER\u003C/a\u003E].

Omega-3 and Omega-6: \u003C/strong\u003EFADS1 gene, which means that my body may process Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids inefficiently.

Vitamin D:\u003C/strong\u003E GC gene, which means that my body may create a protein that decreases the Vitamin D levels in my plasma. Vitamin D is needed for bone growth, calcium absorption in the gut, and reducing inflammation. As you’ll see in a future test I conducted I found out that my Vitamin D levels are literally non-existent which puts me at an increased risk of brittle bones in the future.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EChange:\u003C/strong\u003E Started using \u003Ca href=\"https://amzn.to/2Qo940b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003ENature’s Wise 5000 IU\u003C/a\u003E, a vitamin D supplement.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E4. HDL Levels:\u003C/strong\u003E PPARD gene, means that my body has increased health benefits from endurance training (moderate exercise for a long period of time).

Osteoarthritis:\u003C/strong\u003E GDF5 gene, which means that I am at an increased rate of developing osteoarthritis (break down of the cartilage) and tendinopathy (inflammation of the tendons). This was very alarming for me since I’ve started to experience real joint pain recently. As you can imagine this is very important for me to fix since I plan on living to at least 120 and I want to be very active in the process.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EChange:\u003C/strong\u003E Started using \u003Ca href=\"https://amzn.to/2QsZWrp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003EVimerson Health Glucosamine Chondroitin\u003C/a\u003E, a joint care supplement.\u003C/p\u003E \n \u003Cp\u003E*It’s important to understand that when viewing genetic results, having a particular genetic make-up doesn’t guarantee that your genes will be expressed in the real world that way.
