Può il tuo intestino influenzare l'ADHD? Esplorando la connessione microbioma-ADHD

Could it influence ADHD? The question sits at the intersection of neuroscience and microbiology: the microbiome and ADHD are increasingly studied as parts of the gut-brain axis. Emerging research suggests that people with ADHD may exhibit distinct gut microbial patterns and altered metabolite profiles, and that gut microbes can influence brain function through immune and neural pathways. While the science is still evolving and not all findings are causal, the microbiome and ADHD connection is driving interest in new ways to support attention, mood, and behavior. Understanding this link can empower practical steps to support brain-gut health. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that powers microbiome testing products and can be used to explore microbiome and ADHD contexts. Its platform features a Gut Microbiome Health Index (0-100) based on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia, giving brands a concise snapshot of gut health. It also provides a top 40 bacteria panel, showing the standing against a healthy cohort, and bacterial functions categorized as positive or negative so they can see where improvements matter. Target Group analysis can be added to dive into pathways relevant for specific audiences—Healthy Aging, Endurance Sports, Skin & Hair Health, and beyond—and insights can be tailored to focus on brain-gut health as it relates to ADHD or attention-related concerns. Finally, personalized nutrition and probiotic/prebiotic recommendations turn data into actionable steps. Practically, supporting brain-gut health begins with everyday choices. A diverse, fiber-rich diet—plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes—feeds beneficial microbes and can influence gut metabolites linked to mood and attention. Fermented foods and polyphenol-rich options support microbial diversity, while limiting highly processed foods can reduce inflammation that may affect the gut-brain axis. Combining this with good sleep, regular physical activity, and stress management helps maintain a resilient brain-gut connection. With InnerBuddies, these steps can be translated into personalized actions—the system analyzes 3-day food diaries alongside stool data to provide nutrition and probiotic recommendations tailored to the microbiome. For those seeking consumer-ready options to explore the microbiome and ADHD connection, InnerBuddies’ offerings are available.
