Translating gut microbiome science into dietetic practice: current evidence, gaps and recommendations

Incorporating gut microbiome science into dietetic practice presents an opportunity to enhance personalised nutrition and support improved health outcomes. However, several scientific and application related gaps, including limited translational research, difficulties in interpreting microbiome data, and lack of clear and standardised guidance pose challenges to its incorporation into clinical practice. This paper highlights the challenges that continue to limit its effective implementation in clinical settings and provides practical recommendations to improve the use of probiotics and microbiome-informed interventions.
