Gut Bacteria Linked to Lower Body Fat, Promising New Weight-Loss Treatment
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen discovered that *Ruminococcus torques*, a gut bacterium, produces Rordep1 and Rordep2, molecules that promote weight loss by mimicking irisin and influencing appetite-regulating hormones; clinical trials are now underway to explore this bacterium's potenti...

Gut Microbiome Imbalance Linked to Increased Parkinson's Risk
A King's College London study found that people with Parkinson's disease have a less diverse gut microbiome and higher levels of harmful bacteria than healthy controls, suggesting that a diet low in ultra-processed foods could reduce the risk of developing Parkinson's.

Exercise Improves Gut Microbiome Diversity, Enhancing Health and Athletic Performance
A new review in Gastroenterology reveals a strong link between exercise and gut microbiome diversity, showing that physical activity increases beneficial bacteria and reduces inflammation through the release of myokines which interact with gut microbes to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).

Gut Microbiome Differences Linked to Autism in New Study
A study of 43 autistic and 41 neurotypical children (ages 8-17) found lower levels of tryptophan metabolites in autistic children, impacting serotonin production and potentially contributing to autism symptoms; maternal antibiotic use during pregnancy was also linked to a higher risk of autism.

Traditional East African Diet Shows Anti-Inflammatory Effects
A study of 77 Tanzanian men showed that switching from a traditional, plant-rich diet to a Western diet increased inflammation, while returning to the traditional diet or adding a fermented banana drink reduced it; these effects lasted for a month.

PCOS Linked to Lower Levels of Gut Microbe Parabacteroides Merdae
A study of 220 Chinese women found those with PCOS had roughly half the amount of the gut bacteria Parabacteroides Merdae compared to those without, leading to higher levels of isoleucine, potentially affecting fertility.

Carbohydrate Cravings Linked to Depression Severity, Suggesting Gut-Brain Axis Therapies
A study by German universities reveals that approximately 280 million people globally suffer from depression, consistently exhibiting heightened carbohydrate cravings linked to depression and anxiety severity, not simply increased appetite; future therapies may target the gut-brain axis.
