About Personalised Nutrition Science As A Field

The gut microbiome is the community of bacteria and other microbes living in the digestive tract, and it differs markedly from one person to another. Diet is one of the strongest influences on it, which is part of why two people can eat the same meal and show different blood sugar and blood fat responses. Work in this area links dietary fibre, fermented foods and plant diversity to the make up of the microbiome, and uses that to explain why one size fits all dietary advice often disappoints.
