The Thin Microbiome

From Fat-Storing to Fat-Burning

The microbiome—a universe within, the undiscovered organ, the final weight loss frontier. Whenever any scientist speaks about the microbiome, it’s always using staggering numbers. Thousands of different species, millions of genes, billions of proteins, trillions of microbes. But here is the weight game changer. The microbiome is our health engine, and it’s what determines whether our metabolism stores or burns fat. So understanding the microbiological effect of our calories is not only the road map to weight loss but what ensures sustainable healthy weight.

Are you telling me the microbiome is the Holy Grail of weight loss? Are you implying that the microbiome explains all the failed diets of the past 50 years? Are you alluding that the reason why I rebound after losing weight is my microbiome? Are you insinuating that if I restore the health of my microbiome, I can finally remain at a healthy weight? Yes. Microbial health defines weight!

And how precisely does the microbiome define my weight?

Microbiologists have conclusively measured that the ability to sustain a healthy weight is highly correlated to the biodiversity of our microbiome. In English, this means how many distinct species reside in our gut microbiome. Individuals able to maintain a healthy weight typically have over 3,000 different species, while individuals prone to obesity host less than 900 species.

The seminal question is, "How can we achieve a fat-burning microbiome?"
