Despite recent advances in nutrigenomics, when we talk about weight loss, the model of calories in/calories out is undeniably outdated.
Why is this? It has to do with your microbiome. The bugs in your gut affect your gut microbiome and can cause you to gain weight. They are called “fat forming bugs”
The Firmicuties microbes now called “fat forming bugs” have a profound impact on your health, and the quality of your life and your weight. When we balance the microbiome we can have optimal health and weight. Imbalances in your microbiome can lead to weight gain and a plethora of diseases including irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, allergies, mood disorders, cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes and many others.
