There is a great deal that we are still learning about the gut microbiome today. In University, I wrote a semester paper about the Pathophysiological Implications of Gut Dysbiosis in Parkinson’s Disease. My review suggests that gut microbiota dysbiosis contributes to Parkinson's disease progression by disrupting neuroplasticity through mechanisms such as reduced BDNF levels, increased alpha-synuclein aggregation that can propagate from gut to brain via the vagus nerve, and neuroinflammation driven by microbial metabolites. In other words, the gut microbiome is extremely connected to more than just our intuition.

Thank you for the stories! I've had my fair share of "why did I do that?" moments.

I still legit cringe with "why did I do that?" moments, but they only make us stronger!
