Loving this cartoonists' rendering of my talk in Amsterdam last month. The idea: focusing on the science of gut health can bring new energy to conversations about preventative health & extending 'healthspan'. Diet & lifestyle take center stage. (Thank you to Amsterdam Green Campus for this output!)

Establishing causality between the microbiome & disease has been tougher than expected. A group of experts recently published this consensus on the way forward: Preclinical models are necessary; multi-omics too. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is fun -- an article on WHY gut health is such a big deal and how paying attention to gut health cuts through all the noise about health. (In Dutch but your browser may be able to translate it to English...) www.buikbelang.nl/nieuws/voeds... (Thought of you, @elisabethbik.bsky.social!)

So does Akkermansia have a different role in development vs. adulthood? I don't think we understand enough about it yet. In a previous life I was a practicing speech-language pathologist & stuttering is a real conundrum. It's treated behaviorally but research on etiology really needs a shake-up.

I'm excited to post about cool microbiome papers again -- I can't stop thinking about this one. It shows (in mice) that a gene mutation contributing to developmental stuttering is associated with a certain gut microbiota. Akkermansia (normally good!) is increased. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hi friends! I'm here. It's been a bit painful to let go of the other platform because it used to be such an enjoyable place, but I find no value in spending time there these days. I continue to write words and more words... about gut health, the microbiome, and mystery topics to be announced soon 🎉
