😀 Microbiome Impact of Extreme Stress

The first paragraph discusses the effects of a 5-day period of extreme stress on an individual's microbiome. Carolina, presumably a healthcare professional, will help the person understand the consequences of stress on their gut health. The conversation touches on the importance of intestinal mucosa as a defense system against harmful substances. It's noted that the individual's microbiome showed signs of inflammation, leading to altered intestinal permeability. The shift from a balanced eubiosis to dysbiosis, characterized by an increase in inflammation and altered bacterial species percentages, is highlighted. Specifically, the individual's microbiome showed an increased percentage of Firmicutes, which are linked to carbohydrate metabolism, and this was higher than the optimal range. The stress is identified as a factor that negatively influenced the microbiome, which was in better condition in a previous test. The individual's response to histamine and gluten is also discussed, with no significant inflammatory changes observed. The potential link between a physically or mentally stressful life, poor diet, and the likelihood of developing allergies, intolerances, or autoimmune diseases is mentioned. Lastly, the absence of pathogens in the gut is noted as a positive sign, as their presence could complicate treatment.
