The Gut–Brain Connection: How Your Microbiome May Protect Your Brain as You Age
Many people worry about their brain health as they get older - memory loss, brain fog, or even the risk of diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. What's often overlooked is that one of the most powerful influences on your brain may be happening quietly in your gut microbiome. Recent research suggests that certain gut bacteria can produce prion-like proteins that may influence the earliest stages of neurodegeneration. The hopeful news? By eating more plants, fibre, and polyphenol-rich foods, and by protecting your gut lining, you're not only caring for your digestion - you're investing in your brain's future and supporting your health span.
