Current approaches vs. ideal approaches (image modified from Leeming et al. [15]). Current microbiome-diet-host approaches carry a number of caveats which may contribute to highly heterogeneous responses, such as the individualised microbiome [15]. A new ideal approach that may allow for further elucidation of diet-microbial-host relations includes stratification by microbial signature, collection of habitual diet data, longitudinal sampling and big data, machine learning, and AI approaches in order to enhance the predictability of outcomes in response to the dietary intervention.
