Abstract: Purpose: The aim of the study is to examine the role of gut microbiota in human health and disease. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: The study revealed a profound influence of gut microbiota on various physiological processes, including digestion, metabolism, immune function, and neurological signaling. the significance of gut microbiota in maintaining health and contributing to disease susceptibility has led to the development of innovative therapeutic approaches, such as probiotics, prebiotics, dietary modifications, and fecal microbiota transplantation, which hold promise for restoring microbial balance and improving clinical outcomes. the integration of microbiota research into clinical practice has the potential to revolutionize patient care by enabling personalized interventions tailored to an individual's unique microbial profile. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Microbiome-Immune Crosstalk, Dysbiosis Theory & Microbial Metabolism Theory may be used to anchor future studies on the Role of Gut Microbiota in Human Health and Disease. Integrate knowledge of gut microbiota into clinical practice to personalize treatments and improve patient outcomes. Establish guidelines and regulations for the development and marketing of microbiota-based therapeutics, ensuring their safety, efficacy, and quality standards.
