Brain Health & the Microbiome
(bMicrobiome Trial)
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial is studying how lifestyle changes, like diet and exercise, affect the gut bacteria of healthy people, those with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), and those with early Alzheimer's disease. Researchers want to see if these changes can help improve brain health or slow down memory loss. By understanding these effects, they hope to find new ways to prevent or treat cognitive decline.
