GUT HEALTH-How Your Gut Health Affects Your Life

This video examines the burgeoning field of gut health which is poised to transform the practice of medicine in the near future. It discusses the rapidly evolving field of gut health as it relates to a variety of diseases. An explanation is given of the function of the gut microorganisms, the microbiota, and how it can lead to disease as well as how it's beneficial to metabolic homeostasis. New terms such as α-diversity and β-diversity are explained and their relation to diseases. We review gut dysbiosis and the factors that influence it, and provide a list and explanation of the interventions that can correct gut dysbiosis. Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) as a potential cure for gut dysbiosis is reviewed. In summary, the video will provide a working knowledge of the importance of the gut microbiome and how it relates to human disease. It provides a solid foundation on which to further develop a thorough understanding of this nascent field of medicine.
