Traditional-Style Diet Patterns Show Rapid Improvements in Metabolic Health

Nutrition scientists at our lab are collaborating on research exploring dietary patterns modeled after non-industrialized eating habits. Early human trials show that diets high in fiber and minimally processed foods can improve metabolic and immune markers within weeks. Participants following this dietary pattern demonstrated reduced cholesterol, lower blood glucose, and decreased inflammatory biomarkers, alongside measurable […]

Gut Microbiome Found to Mediate Diet’s Impact on Metabolic Risk

A new study from our metabolism and nutrition research team has revealed that the gut microbiome may act as a key biological bridge between diet quality and metabolic disease risk. By analyzing hundreds of adults across a wide metabolic spectrum, researchers identified microbial signatures that influence how nutrients are processed, stored, and converted into energy. […]
