Scientists have discovered two human gut microbes that produce serotonin, revealing how microbial chemistry can shape gut motility and nerve connectivity and opening up new possibilities for treating gut disorders like IBS. Study: Identification of human gut bacteria that produce bioactive serotonin and promote colonic innervation.

Polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS. it does not follow a simple “one gene = one condition” rule. Rather, it is multigenic and multifactorial, meaning you likely inherit a susceptibility, not a guarantee. Studies show that approx 40% of women with PCOS have a first-degree relative (mother or sister) who also has PCOS or androgen excess disorder.

The food we eat directly affects our hormones, and every time we eat, we can either support hormonal balance or contribute to the stress our body feels. Hormones act as messengers, helping to coordinate our energy, mood, sleep, focus, metabolism and resilience. When hormones are balanced, you feel stable, clear and energetic. When they’re out of sync, it can…
