The Gut-Brain Connection: A New Perspective Through Polyvagal Theory

Polyvagal theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, offers a revolutionary framework for understanding the intricate relationship between the gut and the brain[1]. This theory provides insights into the complex bidirectional communication pathways that underpin gut-brain interactions, shedding new light on disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI)[4]. The Three-Stage Model of Autonomic Regulation Polyvagal theory proposes a three-stage evolutionary model of autonomic regulation: Dorsal Vagal System:...

Exploring the Connection Between Visceral Fat and Alzheimer’s Disease: A Comprehensive Review

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a growing global health issue, exacerbated by aging populations and a lack of definitive treatments.[1] Recent studies, including those by Dolatshahi et al. (2024), have highlighted a potential link between visceral fat and AD. This emerging association suggests that addressing modifiable metabolic risk factors could play a critical role in mitigating Alzheimer’s risk. Accumulation of visceral fat in midlife, particularly in the 40s and 50s, may indicate underlying brain...

The Gut-Brain Connection: Advancing Health Through Nutrition

Recent scientific discoveries have unveiled a profound link between gut health and brain function, positioning dietary choices and gastrointestinal well-being at the forefront of overall health.[1] This connection is particularly significant in two areas: the use of probiotics for digestive health[2] and the application of neuronutrition in stroke recovery[3]. Probiotics and the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor A groundbreaking study published in Foods has shed light on how probiotics influence gut health...
