How your gut affects weight & metabolism
Your gut bacteria influence metabolism in multiple ways: they affect how many calories you extract from food, how you store fat, how sensitive you are to insulin, and even what foods you crave. An imbalanced microbiome can lead to increased fat storage, blood sugar dysregulation, and constant hunger — even when you're eating well and exercising. Addressing gut health is often the key to breaking through weight loss plateaus.
