Digestive System Engineering

Meaning

Digestive System Engineering is a conceptual term that describes the intentional, systematic modification and optimization of the gastrointestinal tract’s structure, function, and microbial composition to enhance systemic health. This goes beyond simple dietary changes to include targeted interventions like microbiome transplantation, prebiotic and probiotic manipulation, and the use of specific peptides or hormones to improve gut barrier function and nutrient assimilation. The ultimate goal is to optimize the gut-brain-endocrine axis, recognizing the gut’s profound influence on immune and hormonal health.
