Eine einzelne Fäkalmikrobiota-Transplantation in fettleibigen Teenagern lieferte lang anhaltende Stoffwechselvorteile, schrumpfende Taillen, reduzierte Körperfett und Entzündungen und senkte die Risikomarker von Herzkrankheiten, die vier Jahre später noch sichtbar waren.

I’ve linked to the news release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:
Long-term health outcomes in adolescents with obesity treated with faecal microbiota transplantation: 4-year follow-up
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-62752-4
From the linked article:
A single fecal microbiota transplant in obese teens delivered long-lasting metabolic benefits, shrinking waistlines, reducing body fat and inflammation, and lowering heart disease risk markers, which were still visible four years later.
Is the mechanism of action a stimulation of GLP 1 or GIP? It seems that many of these advantages are similar to GLP 1 or GIP agonists. Might be another way to stimulate lagging production of those substances in the body.
We are just the result of bacteria using evolution to create the best meat-suits for finding nutrition for the bacteria.
Seriously though, it is fascinating how much we are still learning about how bacteria affects our health in so many ways.

More evidence why over sanitizing babies and kids does more harm than good.
I want one from a very happy person to see if it does anything for my depression
It’s the spice, spice melange…
So does it work or doesn’t it? We hear about the „miracle“ of these fecal transplants once a year and nothing seems to come of it. Why aren’t we turning everyone healthy and happy with poop pills? What’s the roadblock?
Yesss, let them eat cake
It’s weird.. like who even found this out and why??
But better than people mainlining diabetic drugs and getting meth face. Seems natural. I mean.. just like eat less or whatever. I’d imagine this is a LST resort though for people that can’t pull that off
Why do we have to do fecal transplants? Cant we just eat food rich with this benefitial bacteria?
Just from practical perspective.
Looks to me its easier to say „eat sauerkrat and drink kefir twice a week“ than go this donor tablets route.
What am I missing?
I wonder if they could pinpoint the actual bacteria so that people could be prescribed a certain strain.
Or if certain strains of bacteria was known to have certain effects on the gut biome. That would be key, I think.
