  • The microbiome can

be considered as our largest endocrine organ

  • The micrbiome is a

“drugable” target

  • The microbiome is a

filter of our largest environmental exposure – what we eat

An Pan, PhD et al, Red Meat Consumption and Mortality: Results from 2 Prospective Cohort Studies, Archives of Internal Medicine. 2012; 172(7):555-563.

Health Professionals Follow-up Study (n=37,698) men, 40-75 yo 1986 - 2008 Nurses Health Study (n=83,644) women, 35-55 yo 1980 - 2008 Combined - 2.96 million years of follow-up 23,926 deaths 1 serving per day increase in red meat corresponds to: 13% increase in total mortality (unprocessed red meat) 20% increase in total mortality (processed red meat)

Epidemiology studies show red meat ingestion is associated with increased mortality risk

Robert Koeth et al, Nature Medicine (2013)

Production of the gut flora metabolite TMAO from carnitine is inducible

d3-(methyl)-carnitine oral dose

Chronic dietary exposure to carnitine alters gut microbial composition and thus, host metabolism of carnitine
