The gut microbiome affects far more than digestion. It is increasingly being linked to metabolism, chronic inflammation, insulin sensitivity and aging. Research shows that the microbiome of long-lived people often differs from that of their younger peers and retains certain diversity and functional characteristics even at a very advanced age.

As a physician, I am particularly interested in how the microbiome and insulin resistance are connected and whether addressing them can influence not only disease risk, but also the number of years lived in good health.

In this presentation, I will discuss how the microbiome can affect glucose and insulin metabolism, chronic inflammation and the aging process, and the role that nutrition, lifestyle and our everyday choices play in these processes.
