    Current dietary recommendations are often generalized, conflicting, and highly subjective, depending on the source biases. This results in confusion, skepticism, and frustration in the general population. As an alternative, we propose an objective, integrated, automated, algorithmic approach to diet and supplement recommendations that is powered by artificial intelligence that analyzes individualized molecular data from the gut microbiome, the human host, and their interactions. This platform enables precise, personalized, and data-driven nutritional recommendations that consist of foods and supplements, based on the individual molecular data, to support healthy homeostasis. We describe the application of this precision technology platform to populations with depression, anxiety, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and type 2 diabetes (T2D). We show that our precision nutritional recommendations resulted in improvements in clinical outcomes by 36% in severe cases of depression, 40% in seve

    • @ePatientDave I don't have lots of twists and turns; hate anesthesia; am curious and research showed higher rates of detection in awake pts. 99% are sedated in the US but only "~ half of colonoscopies performed in EU use sedation. In Finland, only 6% are" https://t.co/Pru3CSLC0r
