A method of improving metabolic health in a mammalian subject in need of improvement in metabolic health includes reducing the mammalian subject's consumption of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) by the mammalian subject consuming a reduced BCAA daily diet. Also included is a method of reducing a mammalian subject's consumption of BCAAs by the mammalian subject consuming a reduced BCAA meal replacement at least once per day. Also included is a method of feeding a mammalian subject in need of weight reduction by the mammalian subject consuming a low protein daily diet supplemented with leucine. Also included is a method of improving metabolic health in a mammalian subject in need of improvement in metabolic health by reducing the mammalian subject's consumption either histidine alone or of both phenylalanine and tyrosine by the mammalian subject consuming a reduced amino acid daily diet.

A patient health management platform accesses a metabolic profile for a patient and biosignals recorded for the patient during a current time period comprising sensor data and/or lab test data collected for the patient. The platform receives patient data recorded during the current time period comprising food items consumed, medications taken, and symptoms experienced by the patient. The platform implements a machine-learned metabolic model to determine a metabolic state of the patient at a conclusion of the current time period by comparing a true representation of the metabolic state and a prediction of the metabolic state. The true representation and the prediction are determined based on the recorded biosignals and the recorded patient data, respectively. The platform generates a patient-specific treatment recommendation outlining instructions for the patient to improve their metabolic state and provides the patient-specific treatment recommendation to the patient device for display to the patient.

Compositions for affecting the intestinal microbiome of a mammalian subject can include a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier and greater than or equal to 1*104 PFU/mL or PFU/mg of bacteriophage having a tropism that includes an obesogenic and/or inflammatory bacterium associated with an intestinal microbiome of a mammal. Processes for preparing the disclosed compositions can include isolating thebacteriophage from an environmental source, characterizing the bacteriophage, and combining the bacteriophage with the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier at greater than or equal to1*104 PFU/mL or PFU/mg. Methods can include administering the disclosed compositions to a mammalian subject with or without co-administration of the disclosed probiotics. Administering the disclosed compositions can reduce a concentration of obesogenic and/or inflammatory bacteria in the intestinal microbiome of the mammalian subject, promote or induce weight loss, reduce inflammation, support metabolic health, and/or support a healthy balance/diversity within the intestinal microbiome of the mammalian subject.

The present invention relates to a marker that can be used as aging biomarker. More specifically, the present invention relates to the analysis of nucleolar size as a biomarker for aging and metabolic health and its relation to the virtual age, or the life expectancy of animals, including humans. The aging biomarker of the invention can be used to study the effect of medication, food compounds and/or special diets on the wellness and virtual age, or the life expectancy of animals, including humans.
