Diet and Gut Health
The Diet and Gut Health research area at the Microbes and Social Equity (MSE) group delves into the intricate relationship between what we consume and our microbiome health, expanding upon the adage “you are what you eat.” Our research emphasizes the profound impact of dietary habits on gut microbiota, which in turn influences overall health, disease outcomes, and societal health disparities.
Objectives and Impact
The Diet and Gut Health research at MSE aims to:
- Illuminate the connections between diet, gut microbiome health, and broader health outcomes.
- Develop dietary interventions that promote optimal microbiome health, which can lead to improved overall health and reduced disease risk.
- Address social and health inequities through targeted studies that explore how diet and gut health vary across different populations.
