Our world is complex! At the beginnings were probiotics, with literally thousands of scientific and research articles underpinning their benefits, then followed by prebiotics, and now a ‘biotic’ revolution. As an industry, we need to step back, take a breath and introspect.
As part of the agro-food industry hi tech journal, I participated in an expert panel on pre and post biotics.
It is quite evident from the guest panelists how diverse the industry has expanded out to be. They provide us with a 360° look at the ’biotics’ world from diverse perspectives which include industry experts, clinical research organizations, regulatory and consulting agencies, market analysts and associations. Deem it a much-needed update of this fast-evolving sector, at the heart of the Microbiome Revolution, albeit from their looking glass. “It is one of the most transversal mega-trends for the food and nutrition markets” said Cristiana Piangiolino from Synbalance, Italy.

When most people think about circadian rhythm, they think about sleep. But your circadian rhythm is much more than a sleep-wake cycle. It is a master biological timing system that influences nearly every aspect of health, including metabolism, immune function, hormone production, digestion, detoxification, and even how your gut microbes behave.
Let’s be completely honest: When was the last time you actually looked inside the bowl before you flushed? If your immediate reaction is to cringey-laugh and say, "Ugh, never," you are throwing away the single most valuable health report your body produces daily.
A chronic diagnosis is almost always delivered as a final sentence, completely devoid of hope. In the conventional medical model, patients are given a label—whether it’s Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or chronic fatigue—and told, “There is no cure. This is progressive. Take this pill.”
The path to vibrant health is rarely a straight line. Often, it takes a deeply personal disruption to force us to look at the human body through a completely different lens. For Martha Carlin, a former corporate auditor and turnaround expert, that disruption came in 2002 when her healthy 44-year-old husband, John, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
