We devote extraordinary attention to brain development in infancy and childhood-then largely abandon the brain until symptoms appear decades later. This neglect carries consequences. Cognitive decline, emotional dysregulation, and stress vulnerability do not only begin in old age; they are also shaped silently in midlife, when biological trajectories are still modifiable. Emerging science now identifies the gut-brain axis as a critical regulator of cognition, mood, and resilience, linking microbial signaling to neuroinflammation, stress responses, and neural integrity.
This webinar will explore the science behind the gut–brain axis and how the microbiome interacts with the brain during the aging process, influencing whether brain health is worsened, preserved, or improved. We will also review clinical evidence supporting targeted probiotic and postbiotic solutions – B. breve MCC1274, B. breve M-16V, and LAC-Living+® -and their distinct yet complementary mechanisms in supporting memory, executive function, stress adaptation, and positive mood. Together, these findings demand a shift from reactive brain care to prevention- first strategies that intervene earlier-when the brain is not yet failing, but still protectable.
