Title : Obesity and the microbiome: A hidden key to weight management
Abstract:
The human gut microbiome plays a pivotal role in metabolism, energy regulation, and overall health. Emerging research suggests that microbial composition may influence obesity by affecting nutrient absorption, fat storage, inflammation, and appetite regulation. This presentation explores the intricate relationship between the gut microbiota and obesity, highlighting key bacterial species linked to weight gain and metabolic dysfunction. It also examines the impact of diet, probiotics, prebiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) as potential strategies for modulating the microbiome to support weight management. Additionally, the role of personalized microbiome-based interventions and their future applications in obesity treatment will be discussed. By understanding the microbiome’s role in obesity, we can unlock new, targeted approaches to managing weight and metabolic health.
