The Gut & Weight Connection
Poor Gut Health & Weight Gain
Struggling with unwanted weight and other health problems that have crept up in your middle years is a common concern, but there's more to it than meets the eye. A crucial piece of the puzzle is the connection between poor gut health, inflammation, hormonal imbalance and weight gain. Poor gut health and hormonal imbalance can lead to weight gain and digestive symptoms such as IBS, bloating, food intolerances and constipation.

Struggling with weight gain, autoimmune, hormone or digestive issues?

Ready to improve your health with personalised nutrition?
Your gut, often referred to as the "second brain," is home to trillions of microorganisms, collectively known as the gut microbiome. These microbes play a crucial role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and even influencing your metabolism.
Poor gut health can contribute to weight gain:
-
Inflammation: A disrupted gut microbiome can lead to chronic inflammation, which is associated with insulin resistance, obesity, joint pain and autoimmune arthritis. Inflammation can impair your body's ability to regulate blood sugar and metabolise fat effectively.
-
Hormonal Imbalance: The gut and hormones are closely linked. An imbalanced gut can disrupt hormonal regulation. Imbalanced hormones are related to weight gain, PCOS, Endometriosis and thyroid conditions. Imbalances in leptin, a hormone that controls hunger and fullness, can also result from poor gut health.
-
Cravings and Appetite: Your gut microbiome can influence your cravings and appetite. Harmful bacteria may promote cravings for sugary or high-calorie foods, making it difficult to maintain a healthy diet.
-
Digestive Issues: Gut problems like IBS, constipation or diarrhoea can hinder nutrient absorption and contribute to weight gain. When your body doesn't absorb nutrients efficiently, it may signal hunger even when you've eaten enough.
