Gut Microbiome Modulation

Meaning

Gut Microbiome Modulation refers to targeted, evidence-based interventions designed to alter the composition and functional output of the intestinal microbiota to favorably influence host systemic health, particularly endocrine signaling pathways. A balanced microbial community is now understood to influence nutrient absorption, inflammatory tone, and the production of short-chain fatty acids that communicate with the host’s metabolic centers. Dysbiosis is increasingly implicated in conditions like insulin resistance and altered steroid metabolism.
