Modulating metabolism and reproductive health through microbiome driven gut-brain axis therapies

The gut microbiome is linked to metabolic and reproductive health issues, including obesity and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

• Gut dysbiosis, or an imbalanced microbiome, is associated with insulin resistance, hormonal imbalances, and systemic inflammation.
• There is a noted coordination between dysbiosis and conditions such as obesity and PCOS.
• Alterations in gut microbiota may contribute to menstrual dysfunction and exacerbate hormonal imbalances.
• Probiotic therapy has shown potential benefits in improving insulin resistance and regulating menstrual cycles.
• The findings suggest that addressing gut dysbiosis could be important for managing metabolic and reproductive health conditions.
