THE ROLE OF PROBIOTICS AND WEIGHT LOSS

Weight loss can be frustrating at times, especially if we have found ourselves regaining the weight multiple times and feeling as though it is an uphill battle.

Many individuals focus on reducing calories and increasing exercise, leading to poor results as there are underlying health issues.

A compromised gut can play a role in why individuals do not experience healthy, sustainable weight loss.

Excess weight is an inflammatory response in the body and once the gut issues are addressed and inflammatory foods and environmental influences are eliminated, success happens.

Probiotics play an important role in optimal gut health, building a healthy microbiome and reducing inflammation that leads to healthy weight management.

Research has found that investing in a good quality probiotic containing multiple species of probiotics and high colony forming units (CFU) increases weight reduction.

Have a look at the strains of bacteria in your probiotics or fermented foods and make sure they are in line with your health goals.
