Description
This presentation explores how interactions between diet, the gut microbiome, and the human host influence energy balance and obesity. It highlights emerging evidence that diet-driven changes in gut microbes can alter energy availability to the host, with implications for obesity prevention and treatment.

Learning Objectives
  • Describe the mechanisms by which diet–gut microbiome interactions influence host energy availability, energy balance, and obesity risk.
  • Interpret emerging research on diet-induced changes in the gut microbiome to distinguish clinically relevant findings from preliminary or exploratory data.
  • Apply microbiome-informed dietary principles when counseling patients on obesity prevention and treatment strategies
