(PART OF THE CYCLE OF ILLNESS: IMMUNE SYSTEM PART 3 / HOW THE MICROBIOME AFFECTS OTHER SYSTEMS) THESE ARE THE SLIDES TO THE VIDEOS AND THE NOTES The gut microbiome plays a significant role in thyroid health, with evidence suggesting a "gut-thyroid axis" where imbalances in the gut microbiota can affect thyroid function and vice versa. This axis is particularly relevant in autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease. How the Microbiome Influen

SEE ALSO ENDOCRINE/BLOOD SUGAR, MICROBIOME AND THYROID AS WELL* Gut Bacteria Influence Glucose Metabolism Certain gut microbes: - Help break down carbohydrates more efficiently. - Produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like: - butyrate, - acetate - propionate during fiber fermentation. - SCFAs improve insulin sensitiv

(PART OF THE CYCLE OF ILLNESS: IMMUNE SYSTEM PART 3 / HOW THE MICROBIOME AFFECTS OTHER SYSTEMS) THESE ARE THE SLIDES TO THE VIDEOS AND THE NOTES The gut microbiome, a complex ecosystem of microorganisms in the digestive tract, significantly influences inflammation throughout the body. A balanced microbiome can help regulate immune responses and reduce inflammation, while dysbiosis (an imbalance in the microbiome) can promote inflammatory conditions. The microbiome and inflam

(Part of the Cycle of Illness Series: Immune System Pt 3/How the Microbiome affects other Systems **See also Cycle of Illness Inflammation, and Methylation as well as the Immune system to understand how this all ties together) Development of Food Allergies The prevalence of food allergies has been rising globally, prompting significant research into their underlying causes. One emerging area of interest is the role of the gut microbiome in the development and management of fo

PART OF THE CYCLE OF ILLNESS SERIES - IMMUNE SYSTEM PT3- HOW MICROBIOME AFFECTS OTHER SYSTEMS THESE ARE THE SLIDES IN THE VIDEOS. The microbiome and mast cells have a complex, bidirectional relationship, particularly in the gut and skin. Mast cells, immune cells involved in inflammation and allergy, interact with the microbiome through pattern recognition receptors like TLRs, influencing both immune responses and the composition of the microbiota. This interaction is crucial
