The composition of the gut microbiome is influential on health, perhaps to a similar degree as diet and exercise choices. This composition changes with age in ways that are detrimental to long-term health, reducing the supply of metabolites necessary for tissue function while increasing the number of microbes capable of provoking chronic inflammatory signaling. Altering the composition of the gut microbiome in lasting ways, such as via flagel…
