Great article, Pratibha. I’ve seen how the F/B ratio acts as a kind of barometer for gut resilience, but it’s really the dynamic dance between these groups (i.e. how they’re cross-feeding, what metabolites they’re producing, and how they’re interacting with your diet, stress, and environment) that predicts outcomes like metabolic health and mood.
