The gut microbiome plays a significant role in metabolism, appetite regulation, and fat storage. An imbalance in gut bacteria, known as dysbiosis, can contribute to weight gain by increasing inflammation, altering how the body processes food, and affecting hunger hormones. Certain microbial species are linked to better metabolism and fat breakdown, while others may promote weight gain by increasing calorie absorption and fat storage.
Advanced microbiome analysis (testing + interpretation) provides personalized insights into how your gut bacteria impact weight loss, helping to identify what needs to change, why, and how. By optimizing your microbiome, you can enhance your metabolism, improve digestion, and maximize the effectiveness of your weight loss efforts.
