Abstract

In the course of the last decade, the exquisite level of refinement in our understanding of critical metabolic pathways related to iron absorption and homoeostasis, the colonization of intestinal epithelial structures of newborn babies by the ingestion of colonic, vaginal, colostrum and breast milk microbiota as well as the essential role of gut microbiota in the biosynthesis of host serotonin has provided a fascinating and powerful framework to better understand the potential links between weight balance, inflammation and mental health.

Based upon these advances and the implication of fructose-enriched foods in the generation of uric acid, insulin resistance, obesity and type 2 diabetes, we have designed and deployed a successful personalized regimen for weight balance and the sustainable abrogation of overweight, obesity and hyper-obesity conditions.

In this report, we summarize the importance of maternal microbiota and iron-interdependent pathways in the biosynthesis of serotonin, a monoamine neurotransmitter (5-hydroxy tryptamine) in the optimal functioning of infant and adult gastrointestinal systems, immune systemic priming and weight homoeostasis.

Briefly, we found that a non-invasive, individually-tailored, pre-biotic diet in combination with low impact exercise routines and the use of digestive drink combinations containing active selective bacteria under the putative names of nëliBIOM and nëliBIOMPLUS, respectively, can successfully abrogate hyper-obesity and obesity in men and women by permanently and progressively effecting weight loss.
