Today, back by popular demand is Miguel Mateas, a Clinical Nutritional Neuroscientist who studies how the microbiota affects the brain.\\xa0\\xa0Diversity and abundance in gut microbiota leads to a healthy and balanced system, called eubiosis.\\xa0 But when that balance is lost, the gut\\u2019s ability to absorb nutrients suffers, which is called dysbiosis.\\xa0

We discuss his new review article, which covers markers of gut health which can be used to develop personalized treatment for microbiome and neurological issues, as dysbiosis in the gut can increase the risk of mental disorders.\\xa0 Listen in to learn about practical strategies to fix dysbiosis, sex and the microbiome, and how clinicians study something as complicated as the microbiota.
