Did you know that Omega-3 can be beneficial for gut issues? That's due to it's: -Anti-Inflammatory Mechanisms -Ability to balance the Gut Microbiota -Ability to aid the preservation of Gut Barrier Integrity For more in depth information on how exactly Omega-3 can help you in case of gut issues, read our backed-up by science and medical research article:

Gut Microbiome and Obesity. Read the article. The gut microbiome plays a significant role in the development and management of obesity. Here's how it impacts obesity: ### Key Mechanisms 1. **Energy Harvesting**: Certain gut bacteria are more efficient at extracting energy from food, leading to increased calorie absorption and fat storage¹². 2. **Fat Storage**: The gut microbiome can influence the body's fat storage mechanisms. Dysbiosis, or an imbalance in gut bacteria, can promote fat accumulation¹². 3. **Inflammation**: An unhealthy gut microbiome can lead to chronic low-grade inflammation, which is associated with obesity and metabolic disorders¹². 4. **Insulin Resistance**: Dysbiosis can contribute to insulin resistance, a key factor in the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes¹². ### Impact on Obesity - **Altered Microbiome Composition**: Obese individuals often have a different gut microbiome composition compared to lean individuals. For example, they may have higher levels of Firmicutes and lower levels of Bacteroidetes¹². - **Metabolic Changes**: The altered gut microbiome in obesity can lead to enhanced energy extraction from food, increased lipogenesis (fat creation), and insulin resistance¹². ### Supporting a Healthy Gut Microbiome To support a healthy gut microbiome and potentially reduce the risk of obesity, consider incorporating the following foods into your diet: - **Probiotic-Rich Foods**: Yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and miso¹. - **Prebiotic Foods**: Asparagus, garlic, onions, bananas, and apples¹. - **Fiber-Rich Foods**: Whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds¹. Maintaining a balanced diet rich in these foods can help promote a healthy gut microbiome and support overall metabolic health.

Unveiling seasonal patterns in laboratory test results Did you know that the time of year can influence laboratory test outcomes? A recent study (Søren Brunak, Victorine Muse, PhD) highlights significant seasonal variations in test data, underscoring the importance of considering timing in clinical diagnostics and research. This finding could lead to more accurate interpretations of test results and improved patient care.  Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dpHTgpf6 #sciencenewsdk #NovoNordiskFoundation #laboratoryscience #clinicalresearch #seasonalvariation

Fantastic to see a Wellcome funded trial in this Nature list of top 11 clinical trials that will shape medicine in 2025. The STEP (Stratification and Treatment in Early Psychosis) trials, led by Prof Philip McGuire at Oxford University, will examine the safety, efficacy and tolerability of Cannabidiol in the treatment of psychosis . https://lnkd.in/evRgmc4A

Ozempic – known generically as semaglutide – has quickly become a household name in the weight-loss world. While it's mostly prescribed for type 2 diabetes, many turn to it for shedding pounds. But what if there was a way to achieve similar results naturally? 🌾 New research led by Frank Duca from the Department of Animal and Comparative Biomedical Sciences shows that foods rich in beta-glucan, like oats and barley, might hold the key to reducing body weight and improving glucose control – without breaking the bank. 💡To learn more, check out the full article below. https://bit.ly/3SVvs3A

FREE WEBINAR: The Pivotal Role of the Gut Microbiome in Metabolic Health Join Fullscript & Microbiome Labs this Thursday, November 21st at 2:00 PM EST to gain insights into evidence-based methods for supporting intestinal integrity and promoting metabolic resilience. REGISTER HERE: https://lnkd.in/eAwfWKtm What will you learn? ⬇️ Emerging research shows that increased intestinal permeability and compromised gut barrier function are central contributors to inflammation, a response linked to a variety of health conditions. In this webinar, we’ll explore the complex relationship between gut health and inflammation, discussing how strategies that target the microbiota, mucosal immune response, and barrier integrity can support metabolic health.

This new narrative review has a ton of data in it, all of which make the case that fructose: 1. is a liver toxin 2. drives fat synthesis and deposition 3. drives insulin resistance 4. alters the microbiome and the gut barrier to increase inflammation The point is that Dr. John Yudkin theorized all of this in the 1960's. But his theory didn't match the industry playbook. By the end of the 1970's, he was crushed by the academic machine (funded by the industry machine) and left for dead. But good ideas die hard. And Yudkin's ghost is back with a vengeance. Thank you, Dr. Ken Ting of U. Toronto for this awesome review. The Corporate Determinants of Health is now a discipline within medicine. We at UCSF are using our Industry Documents Library to expose the role of industry in tobacco, climate change, the opioid crisis, and now ultraprocessed food. <https://lnkd.in/dyGHWU_t>

👏Great new systematic review & meta-analysis on acceptability and adherence to prehabilitation in patients undergoing mayor abdominal surgery. To get a comprehensive summary of current evidence, I recommend reading this manuscript.👇

A new study by Awanui Scientist Leigh Lauv is examining the factors driving the increased demand for Vitamin D tests and potential strategies to prevent these tests being ordered unnecessarily, which brings challenges for both patients and the lab. Leigh’s research aims to develop effective demand management strategies to alleviate the strain of over-ordering and provide guidance to health professionals. This involves studying test frequency and volumes, analysing cost implications for patients and providers, and improving lab efficiency. YOu can read more about this work here: https://lnkd.in/g3tQYnpY
