\nCEO, AMILI. “It is therefore important for us to engage the public on the
\nimpact that diet and lifestyle have on gut health. As Southeast Asia’s first
\nprecision gut microbiome company, we have been collaborating with leading
\nacademic institutions such as NUHS to conduct research on gut health, build
\nknowledge, and understand the Asian gut microbiome. Through these collaborative
\nefforts, we may be able to identify new treatment therapies to address
\nconditions through gut health in the future.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\nbetween our gut microbiome and a myriad of health conditions, both physical and
\nmental. Our gut health is influenced by many factors, from what we eat and
\ndrink to how much we exercise, and the impact is huge. Thus far, most research
\nhas been centred on western societies and diets,” says Dr Kristie Fan,
\nConsultant, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Medicine, National University Hospital. “NUHS is working with
\nAMILI in this exciting field to promote gut health in Singapore and beyond.
\nTogether, we seek to discover the truth to ‘you are what you eat’.”<\/p>\n

\nlifestyles, and gut health. Through a map of data, these population-level
\nanalyses may offer insights that could align future therapy and intervention.<\/p>\n
