Nutritionist Leyla Muedin details the Microbiome Theory of Aging (MTA) through a comprehensive article by Ross Pelton in Integrative Medicine, a Clinician's Journal. The theory suggests that dysbiosis, or microbial imbalance in the gut, causes health problems that can accelerate biological aging by increasing inflammation, zonulin levels, intestinal permeability (leaky gut), and triggering chronic diseases. The episode covers the roles of probiotics, postbiotics, and how lifestyle factors influence the aging process. Leyla also discusses causes of dysbiosis, including diet, antibiotics, and stress, and introduces the concept of postbiotic metabolites as key regulators of health. The importance of the gut-brain axis and the effect of stress on microbiome dysfunction are also highlighted. The talk aims to provide insight into how maintaining a healthy gut microbiome can influence aging and health, setting the stage for a deeper dive in the next episode.Subscribe to the Intelligent Medicine Podcast for Free from your Favorite Podcast Provider

Leyla Weighs In: Vascular Vitality
In my 40-year history in medicine, I’ve never endorsed a weight-loss product, because most don’t deliver—until now.
The science behind Calocurb and its active ingredient, Amarasate®, is so compelling that I can support it as a plausible alternative for curbing appetite and enhancing satiety to help you shed pounds.
Calocurb works by activating your body’s own appetite-regulating chemical messengers, including GLP-1, which signal specific areas of the brain to effectively manage hunger. It’s safe and effective, with no chemicals, synthetics, or caffeine—and it doesn’t cause jitters.
