Hacking Akkermansia: The Keystone Bacteria Critical to Gut Health and Longevity - GI-MAP Insights
Ғылым және технология
Kara Fitzgerald, ND, IFMCP, and Tom Fabian, PhD, CNTP, discuss the keystone commensal biomarker, Akkermansia muciniphila, and how it impacts gut health and longevity.
Akkermansia muciniphila plays a role in gut health, blood sugar regulation, GLP-1 production, gut-brain health, and more.
Dr. Fitzgerald will dive into the research surrounding this exciting marker and discuss how clinicians should address high and low levels of Akkermansia seen on the GI-MAP’s quantitative report.
Watch to learn:
- Why Akkermansia is a keystone strain for health as we age
- The connection between Akkermansia and metabolic health
- How to tailor supplement and dietary protocols for patients using results from GI-MAP

Why do you suggest the avoidance of beans/legumes and dairy? Zoe and other similar programmes emphasise the intake of legumes and fermented dairy - kefir, yoghurt etc.

I got a 10/23 measured DS GI Map test. Found pathogens. Was akkromansia measured?

Hi. Akkermansia muciniphila is assessed on every GI-MAP test!

the older tests did not have Akkermansia, but they have switched out clostridia for Akkermansia on their newer tests. I want to say it has been a couple years now that you can test for Akkermansia on a GI MAP, but it wasn't always on the test.
What about a high fat carnivore diet?
not much in human studies, mainly in animal studies.
i never have find probiotic that havent gave me some issues. I ve tried so many of them and honestly i think they made worse.

you probably have an overgrowth of opportunistic bacteria. It is important to know what is going on in your microbiome, with a GI MAP or another microbiome test. That way you can see the terrain and respond accordingly. People that usually don't tolerate probiotics is because their gut is already crowded with bad and sometimes good bacteria. Then you introduce more and you feel worse. It is like having a seating limit on a bus, you are already there, even tho most of them might be bad characters on the bus, if you allow more passengers (that are good characters), you aren't crowding OUT the bad, but just crowding the bus. I hope that analogy helps you understand what I am trying to communicate here.

@@KevinDaniArnold I did GI MAP test and they find pvergrpwth of C diff and production of toxin A and toxin B, also higher levels of acramensia which usually they told me is sign of imparement of gut mucus, lower bifido and lactobacilus, overgorwth of sabtilus bascilus I think. Now i know all that but not sure and have hard time finding someone who can help me reading properly my results and helping me rebalance everything. Thanks for your ansfwer this is very helpfull. It kind of make sense.

Hi. Results from the GI-MAP can help your practitioner determine what probiotics are best for you. Without testing, it's hard to know whether you need them, or which ones will be best for you. Please email us at cs@diagnosticsolutionslab.com if you'd like us to help you find a practitioner.

@@SH-jg5zq IBS can also be related to histamine producers. If you have your GI Map, check out which ones are histamine producers, if those are high, those can be contributing to your IBS symptoms as well. I would say in the recent research, that is more correlated than gas production as we once thought because of its activation of MAST cells and how nearby they are to the nerves which increases visceral pain perception, which is a hallmark of IBS.
