Diet and Your Microbiome

This poster is ideal for someone trying to present a synopsis of the information on the gut microbiota and different disease states. Specifically, this poster explores the connection between a diet high in sugar and fat and a poor microbiome! Topics discussed include:

• the microbiome as it’s own organ
• defining the microbiome
• Macronutrients, probiotics, and the Westernized diet
• Cravings and connection to the bacteria in our gut
• Serotonin and dopamine in the gut
• Differences in bacteria in obese and lean individuals
