Yes I think this pattern will get much clearer in the near future. We already see these links with chronic illness, depression, etc and gut dysbiosis. One thing I wouldn’t count out is the effect of lingering virus or viral antigens causing regular immune system stimulation leading to various unexplained illnesses to varying degrees. They also can contribute heavily to gut dysbiosis which may be linked with serotonin production and other things. Knowing how bacteria plays together is one thing but we also need to understand how pathogens can affect our guts as well!

The full college experience in short. Up to that point I thought the most likely and dangerous ailments were from acute injury (which I was deft at avoiding during risky thrill-seeking behavior). But I believe I had it completely backwards.

- datameta 3y agoI appreciate it. I'm thankful the lifestyle guidelines are improving in adoption rates and quality. What I mean is that more and more diet and exercise (and meditation) are as key as any highly successful targeted drug. The idea is to do all simultaneously. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biopsychosocial_model?wprov=sfla1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biopsychosocial_model?wprov=sf... There are studies (multi-generational long-term) telling us that positive/meaningful social experience is one of if not the greatest factor in affecting healthspan.
