We're working to build more solutions for conditions of the microbiome - from #IBS and ##SIBO to PCOS and #Diabetes. How can you help? support.cedars-sinai.edu/giv…

The MAST Program is excited to be at #ENDO2026 this weekend in Chicago, sharing research that continues to uncover the connections between the gut microbiome and metabolic disease. This @CedarsSinai article highlights the work of Gabriela Leite, PhD, and Ruchi Mathur, MD, whose research presented at ENDO 2026 explores a potential connection between the small bowel microbiome and PCOS. Their findings suggest that a bacterium found in the human small intestine may contribute to hormonal and reproductive changes associated with the condition. These findings add to the growing evidence that the small bowel microbiome may play an important role in endocrine and reproductive health. If you're attending ENDO 2026, be sure to stop by and explore the latest research from the MAST team. We look forward to connecting with colleagues, sharing discoveries, and advancing the science that brings us closer to better patient care. 🔗 Read the full article (cedars-sinai.org/newsroom/ce…) #ENDO2026 #MASTProgram #CedarsSinai #Microbiome #IBS #SIBO #IMO #PCOS #Obesity #GutMicrobi

🌈 Happy Pride Month from the MAST Program! This month, we celebrate the LGBTQ community and reaffirm our commitment to fostering a healthcare and research environment where every individual feels seen, respected, and heard. At MAST, we believe that advancing science means advancing care for everyone. Inclusive research and equitable healthcare are essential to improving outcomes and ensuring that all patients have access to the understanding, support, and treatment they deserve. Throughout Pride Month and beyond, we stand with LGBTQ patients, researchers, healthcare providers, and advocates working to build a healthier and more inclusive future. Happy Pride! #PrideMonth #Pride2026 #LGBTQHealth #HealthEquity #InclusiveResearch #MASTProgram

📍 Next Stop: Chicago! The MAST Program is excited to be heading to ENDO 2026 next week to share our latest research and join leading scientists, clinicians, and innovators from around the world in advancing endocrine and metabolic health. If you'll be attending ENDO 2026, be sure to follow along as we share updates from our presentations and highlights from the meeting throughout the week. We look forward to seeing you in Chicago! #ENDO2026 #Endocrinology #MetabolicHealth #MicrobiomeResearch #GutHealth #Research #MASTProgram

June is Men’s Health Month, a reminder that taking care of your health is not something to put off until tomorrow. At MAST, we know that digestive symptoms can have a significant impact on quality of life, yet many men delay seeking medical care or dismiss symptoms as something they simply have to live with. Whether it's ongoing bloating, abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, or other digestive concerns, early conversations with healthcare providers can make a difference. This Men’s Health Month, we encourage men to prioritize their health, listen to their bodies, and seek answers when something doesn’t feel right. Better health starts with being heard, asking questions, and taking that first step toward care. #MensHealthMonth #MensHealth #GutHealth #Microbiome #GIResearch #IBS #SIBO #DigestiveHealth #MASTProgram

As Digestive Health Month comes to a close, we’re recognizing World Digestive Health Day by continuing the conversation around the importance of gut health and the patients living with digestive disorders every day. At MAST, digestive health isn’t just something we focus on in May; it’s at the center of everything we do. Digestive diseases impact millions worldwide, yet many patients still face delayed diagnoses, stigma, or feeling dismissed in their healthcare journey. Awareness and research are critical to changing that. This World Digestive Health Day, we celebrate the progress being made in digestive health research while continuing to push forward toward a future with better understanding, better treatments, and better outcomes for patients. #WorldDigestiveHealthDay #DigestiveHealthMonth #GutHealth #Microbiome #GIResearch #IBS #SIBO #DigestiveHealth #MASTProgram

Today, on International Day of Action for Women’s Health, we recognize the importance of listening to women, believing women, and taking women’s symptoms seriously. For women living with IBS and other digestive disorders, pain is minimized, symptoms are dismissed, and answers are delayed. Medical gaslighting remains a real barrier to care, and it can have lasting impacts on both physical and mental health. At MAST, our research is driven by the belief that every patient deserves to be heard. Through advancing the science of the gut microbiome and GI health, we hope to help create a future where women receive the validation, care, and treatment they deserve. Because being told “it’s all in your head” is not healthcare. Listening is. #InternationalDayOfActionForWomensHealth #WomensHealth #IBS #GutHealth #DigestiveHealth #Microbiome #MASTProgram

At MAST, every month is Digestive Health Month — but May gives us an extra reason to spotlight the importance of gut health and digestive wellness. 🍽️💙🚽 Digestive Health Month is a time to raise awareness about the impact GI conditions have on millions of people worldwide and the importance of continued research and education in this space. At the MAST Program, we are committed to advancing research that improves our understanding of the gut microbiome, IBS, SIBO, and other digestive disorders. Digestive health plays a vital role in overall well-being, and increasing awareness can help encourage earlier conversations, better care, and continued scientific innovation. This month, we recognize the researchers, clinicians, patients, and advocates working to move digestive health forward every day. #DigestiveHealthMonth #GutHealth #Microbiome #GIResearch #IBS #SIBO #DigestiveHealth #MASTProgram

One week after DDW 2026, we’re still reflecting on an inspiring few days filled with groundbreaking science, meaningful conversations, and exciting new ideas in digestive health research. We’re proud to have contributed to the growing conversation around the gut microbiome, IBS, SIBO, and GI health, and we’re even more excited for what comes next. Thank you to everyone who connected with the MAST team at @DDWMeeting. We’re energized by the momentum and look forward to continuing to advance research that makes a difference! #DDW2026 #DigestiveDiseaseWeek #GutHealth #Microbiome #GIResearch #IBS #SIBO #MASTProgram
