#72 - Insomnia and the Gut Microbiome: Empty Stomach, Empty Head
Manage episode 382318522 series 3365942
A relatively new frontier of medicine is the exploration of the gut microbiome and its relationship to our body's functioning, health, and susceptibility to disease. The gut-brain axis represents a relatively strong relationship between the gut microbiome and our body's ability to function properly, and it has been proposed that this relationship influences sleep and risk for insomnia. In this episode we will:
- Define the gut microbiome
- Explore the beginnings of its suspected role in neurological functioning and sleep
- List the three proposed pathways by which the gut microbiome interacts with the nervous system
- Evaluate the role that the gut microbiome plays in terms of regulating our circadian rhythm via gene expression of the gut biome's own circadian patterns
- Discuss metabolic linkages between the gut microbiome and why disruption can increase the chances of metabolic syndrome
- Look ahead toward gut biome-based therapies for insomnia
