Your intestines are more interesting than you think, holding billions of bacteria - outnumbering even your own cells! The range of bacteria in your gut is incredibly diverse, and they affect how your body can break down foods and anything passing through your digestive system. The good bacteria help break down foods and fibres, releasing nutrients your body needs in return. The bad bacteria do the opposite - releasing inflammatory chemicals and inducing gas!
Studies have been exploring the link between the gut microbiome (the kinds of bacteria living in your gut) and weight, with some surprising results. Most importantly, there is a wide consensus on the fact that individuals who carry extra weight have vastly different microbiomes to those who are of a healthy weight!
Zoe's PREDICT study, the largest nutritional study of its kind, collected data on over 10,000 people and found that increased amounts of belly fat are associated with certain 'bad' gut bacteria.
After transplanting the microbiome from obese mice to those of a healthy weight, it was shocking to find that the healthy mice then developed obesity themselves! Whilst the specific mechanism of action is unknown, there is a possible explanation - the gut microbiome likely influences weight via the gut-brain axis (which is a kind of chemical signalling between the brain and the gut). The brain, upon receiving signals from the bad bacteria and their chemicals, can trigger hormone releases that induce hunger.
Ever felt the urge to stress-eat? With the gut constantly talking to the brain and vice-versa, now you know why!
So What Can We Do?
It's important to first note the difference between causing and supporting weight loss. Simply taking BioticLift, as a sole action, is not going to cause an individual to lose weight - your body will not instantly burn fat! However, BioticLift will help support your weight loss journey - keeping your gut in good shape, helping to fight off hunger cravings and even improve your mood, whilst you feed yourself the healthy foods to keep you happy!
5 strains of the potent bacteria strains within BioticLift have evidence to show they support weight loss - from the Lactobacillus family they are plantarum and ramnosus. From the Bifidobacterum family it's breve, longum, and animalis susp lactis - they all shine in supporting weight loss!
Zoe's PREDICT even shows that Bifidobacterum animalis helps in increasing insulin sensitivity and lower levels of insulin!
The benefits to weight loss can take time to propagate - you won't instantly notice any differences, and you may not notice for some time! However, within a few weeks, you'll notice a reduction in symptoms like bloating and constipation/diarrhoea, fewer IBS symptoms, and hopefully, you'll start feeling like the best possible version of yourself every single day!
