The Human Gut Microbiome: Relationships to Nutrition, Obesity, and Eating Disorders

Audrey Roberts, Anastasia Tsigkou

In this brief communication, studies pertaining to the human gut microbiome were collected and condensed into key points. It was found that the human gut microbiome and human nutrition are correlated, with nutrition impacting the makeup of the gut microbiome and the gut microbiome influencing how an individual metabolizes nutrients.Following this, a link was also established between different gut microbiota characterizations, obesity rates, and eating disorder pathology. Ultimately, further research is required to develop therapies for these diseases, however there exists a solid foundation upon which to base these further explorations.
