When you consume foods rich in dietary fiber and plant polyphenols, your gut bacteria convert them into signaling molecules\u2014such as&nbsp;<strong>butyrate<\/strong>&nbsp;and other beneficial metabolites\u2014that help regulate inflammation, strengthen the intestinal barrier, support immune function, and influence the activity of your genes through epigenetic mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At EpigenetiXX\u2122, we believe understanding the microbiome is the first step toward understanding&nbsp;<strong>Epigenetic Nutrition\u2122<\/strong>.
