How do we flourish optimal strains and promote diversity of microbes to create this “lush” bacterial ecosystem?

What is it about our Microbiome that is so important? Has our microbiome changed over evolution? And, which parts of health and disease do our microbes influence exactly (and why is that important)?

In our Newsletter #3, we share some of the research we’re reading about fluorinated chemicals, and particularly per and polyfluoroalkyl- PFAS. We discuss how these compounds influence our health, give a specific study showcasing these chemicals, discuss where they are found more generally, and give practical examples of what we can do to lower exposure to them.

In our first Newsletter, we share some of the recent projects we’ve been a part of- giving a Microbiome talk at the Lafayette Community Center, as well as working with an all natural, plant-based, & organic food called Tandem bars. We also share a couple of Thanksgiving staple side dishes we make every Thanksgiving (spoiler alert: Michael Mina’s Thanksgiving recipes are no longer online, so here’s a sample!).

In our third part of the nutritional case study examining Tandem Bars, we’re taking a look at a microbiome benefitting Resistant Starches. We discuss the different kinds of resistant starches, examples of, as well as what resistant starches Tandem contains. We also mention taste, satiating capability, and overall palatability of Tandem Bars.

In our second nutritional case study, we’re continuing to take a look at a microbiome benefitting bar called Tandem Bar. We examine the nutritional profile and gut health promoting components such as Soluble and Insoluble Fiber, Prebiotics, and Resistant Starches within the bar, and discuss research related to these topics. We also mention taste, satiating capability, and overall palatability of Tandem Bars.
