The microbiome: important facts on weight loss

Share Post:

There are several scientific findings that have revealed that one of the most important factors for rapid and permanent weight loss is the Microbiome. The Microbiome is not only an important factor in the weight loss process, it is also responsible for significant improvements in health, mental performance, and energy levels. The millions of microorganisms present in our bodies regulate how nutrients are absorbed and how calories are extracted from food. They are responsible for producing vital nutrients, influence hormones and appetite, play a key role in regulating the immune system, and have a major impact on neurotransmitters, the brain chemicals that regulate mood and cognitive performance.

The metabolism is the key to the weight loss process, and the Microbiome is the key to the proper functioning of the metabolism. With the rebalancing and optimization of the Microbiome it becomes less important to count calories, carbohydrates, or fats to lose weight, one should only avoid certain foods that harm the Microbiome and prioritize foods that protect it. Protection of the Microbiome frees us from hunger, food cravings, and the feeling that the metabolism is out of our control, because the state of the Microbiome determines when we are hungry, what kind of food we crave, and how the food we eat is metabolized. The protection of the Microbiome is also the protection of the brain, as a balanced and healthy Microbiome helps to combat anxiety, depression, fatigue, and decrease stress levels, which have a highly negative impact on body composition and the weight loss process.

The good news is that it is possible to restore the Microbiome incredibly fast!
