Diet, the Gut Microbiome and Human Health

Updated: Aug 22


How diet influences the gut microbiome and its implication for human health is not yet fully understood, yet numerous studies suggest there is an incredible link between all three.

So far research has identified that the bacteria in your gut play a big role in the body through the following mechanism:

  • Digestion: Microbes ferment carbohydrates and indigestible oligosaccharides, this fermentation produces short-chain fatty acids which are essential for gut, body and brain health.

  • Harvest Energy: Microbes produce compounds that may influence metabolic rate and thus influence body weight

  • Synthesis nutrients: Microbes can produce vital vitamins, such as Vitamin K and B12, which the body absorbs

  • Immune development: The microbiome plays a critical role in the training and development of major components of the innate and adaptive immune system


Promoting a more diverse microbiome (healthy gut) can aid in the above, help improve the integrity of the gut lining (prevent leaky gut) and reduce inflammation. In turn, this may maintain homeostasis and can help reduce the risk of disease.


When there is an imbalance in the gut microbiome (dysbiosis) it may present itself through the following signs:

  • Food sensitivities

  • Mood changes

  • Fluctuating hormones

  • Digestive discomfort

  • Irritable skin conditions

  • Low energy

  • Regular sickness
