We found those following the personalized program that's very much focused around changing the microbiome that that resulted a change in microbiome composition and it did result also in a change in many health outcomes as well. Now, how it relates to menopause and aging, again, is something that not many people are looking at.
There has been some research that's shown that postmenopausal women have a microbiome composition that's quite similar to an average male and that premenopausal women have a microbiome composition that's different to the average male and different to a postmenopausal woman. We also looked at this in our ZOE predictor research and we found something similar.

We found that peri- and postmenopausal women have a different microbiome composition to premenopausal women. And what we saw was that there were some specific species that were increased in postmenopausal women.

And these species were the ones that we'd identified with our previous research as part of this kind of microbiome signature that we developed to be the ones associated with higher inflammation, higher blood pressure, higher cholesterol, etc., So they seem to have these species that I'm very loosely going to call bad bugs. Any microbiologist would probably hate me using that term.

But the postmenopausal women seem to have more of these kind of bad bugs and premenopausal more of these good bugs. And then some real exciting research that we've only got the data from on last week, it's not published yet, is in our huge cohort, so these 70,000 women, we've also tried to look at how the menopause is related to symptoms.

sorry, the microbiome is related to symptoms in the peri- and postmenopausal women. And so again, in this group, we see that there's a difference in the microbiome composition depending on whether you're pre- or postmenopausal. But what we also see is that you can partially predict how many and the burden of symptoms that women have based on the microbiome composition.

So what that says in simple terms that there seems to be something interesting going on where the microbiome is associated with these symptoms. Now, what we don't know is, is it actually just a byproduct that we know that diet changes the microbiome? We know that diet is related to symptoms, or is there actually a direct effect of the microbiome on reducing our symptoms?

That's what we're going to be analyzing over the next few months.
