gut-brain-axis
A 2025 RCT shows kefir shifts gut microbiota and improves sleep in ADHD. Combined with observational and mechanistic data, the evidence suggests fermented foods may influence cognition through microbial metabolites. Here's a 14-day n-of-1 protocol to test it yourself.
placenta
Recent work connects LBX1 dysregulation to preterm birth. We outline the mechanistic backdrop and a 14‑day nutrition protocol you can test yourself.
gut-brain
Recent studies show gut microbes can alter brain neurotransmitters. We break down the mechanisms and offer a 7‑day self‑experiment to explore the gut‑brain link.
polyphenols
This article delves into the role of dietary polyphenols in modulating gut microbiota and their implications for health.
microbiome
This article investigates the connection between dietary patterns, gut microbiome composition, and their effects on mood and mental health.

microbiome
A 2025 gut microbiota study reported modest improvements in kidney function. We break down the biology and give you a 14‑day self‑experiment to test the effect yourself.
biohacking
Community-driven data streams let biohackers test unconventional dietary protocols, linking recent microbiome studies to a practical 14‑day self‑experiment.
