The Surprising Link Between Your Gut Fungi, Genetics, and Chronic Disease Risk
- Your genetics influence which fungi grow in your gut, and these fungi directly affect your risk for chronic conditions like heart disease
- Researchers discovered 148 genetic variants linked to nine groups of gut fungi, proving that your DNA helps shape your gut health
- Antibiotics kill bacteria but leave fungi untouched, allowing harmful fungal strains to overgrow and increase disease risk
- Two people eating the same foods can have very different health outcomes because genetic differences decide which fungi thrive in their gut
- Gut microbiome patterns, including fungi and bacteria, are strong predictors of cardiovascular disease risk, yet most clinics still ignore this critical factor
