What food you eat certainly influences conditions in your gut, which influences your gut microbiome. On the other hand, your gut microbiome is highly persistent and even efforts to diet may not have the direct impact you'd think it would. Also, other factors (like conditions at birth) have strong effects that are highly persistent.
If you're not familiar with this research you really owe it to yourself to learn about it.
Indeed, this was very interesting. However, I missed a bit what changes to my diet I could do to improve myicrobiome. I would be glad to hear a scientist like her discussing this.
This may not directly answer your question, but the Huberman Lab podcast [1] is done by a Stanford professor and generally includes very high quality summaries of recent research. He also provides actionable suggestions (though sometimes, the research is so new that they're still in the process of figuring this out). You can scroll through the home page and see the variety of topics he covers, there are a number on gut health.
