What a great weekend at #ENDO2026 in Chicago! 🎉 The MAST team was proud to share our latest research exploring the connections between the gut microbiome and endocrine health. From poster presentations to meaningful conversations with fellow researchers and clinicians, the meeting provided an incredible opportunity to exchange ideas and build new collaborations. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our posters and engaged with our work. We're leaving Chicago inspired and excited to continue advancing microbiome research that can improve patient care. #ENDO2026 #Microbiome #GutHealth #PCOS #DiabetesResearch #Endocrinology #MASTProgram #CedarsSinai

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/cedar…) #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.

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
