TL;DR: The nascent nature of the nutritional psychiatry field to date means that the existing literature identified is largely comprised of preclinical animal studies, and intervention studies that assess markers related to these pathways within clinically diagnosed human populations are needed.

TL;DR: A critical research gap is identified for further evaluation of fermented foods in the management of depression anxiety in humans and the theoretical potential of the functional components present in fermented foods to alter gut physiology and to impact the biological mechanisms thought to underpin depression and anxiety is explored.

TL;DR: In this paper, an umbrella review with integrated meta-analyses investigated the association between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and a range of health outcomes based on meta-analysis of observational data.

TL;DR: It is suggested that dairy products such as milk, yogurt, and kefir may modulate the gut microbiota composition in favor to the host, however, the broader health implications of these findings remain unclear and warrant further studies.

TL;DR: An overview of the role of the gut microbiota in relation to the disease pathology in anorexia nervosa is provided and especially focuses on the therapeutic potential of fermented foods, proposed here as a recommended addition to the current nutritional treatment protocols warranting further investigation.
