Here are some things I have been trying. To me, it seems there is a loss of microbial function for many people that is contributing to metabolic disfunction. Prebiotics and synbiotics can be used in combination with diet to combat dysbiotic

Recently, a combination of b. infantis EVC001 and HMOs was used to stably reverse dysbiosis in adults [1]. I take that probiotic, sold as Evivo in the US, and Layer Origin 2’FL HMO and use it with my children. 1. https://www.cell

I believe you mean sanitize, not sterilize. Probiotics can be applied to mitigate undesirable bacterial growth after sanitizing [1]. 1. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7350316/

Formula is adequate as far as macronutrients go, but it lacks sugars present (at varying levels-about 20% of the population are FUT2 non-secretors and cannot produce the α1,2-fucosyltransferase enzyme that is used to make human milk oligosa

That does not seem to be the case for coQ10[1]. With coQ10, it's only effective at a therapeutic level which entails higher doses[2]. Vitamin E as α-tocopherol has been associated with increased prostate cancer[3]. Natural tocopherols

I’m not sure what you take away from that meta analysis, but to me it does not seem to be about diversity as much as which groups of bacteria are associated with general improved health outcomes and disease. If you have more alpha diversity

IMO, the biggest risk is infant exposure. Infants are exposed to more micro plastics than adults [1]. Bottle fed babies may be exposed to over 1.5 million particles of microplastics per day on average [2]. We avoid plastic in our kitchen (
