Ways your body bacteria is not letting you lose weight and how to fix it

4 ways your body bacteria is not letting you lose weight and how to fix it

Losing weight has become a common problem. Despite having the best gyms and following the best possible diets, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for people to lose weight. This clearly means that what we are doing is not working and there is something that we are unable to figure out.

Your microbiome can be the reason you are unable to lose those extra kilos.


What is microbiome?

The human microbiome is composed of communities of bacteria, viruses and fungi present in the human body. These are the microorganisms in the body or a particular part of the body. Here is how it can stop you from losing weight.


​Bacterial imbalance

Think of microbiome as a big city that is filled with different bacterial colonies. A strong diversity of healthy probiotics is needed for optimal health and fast metabolism.

Studies have found that people who are overweight or obese have lower microbiome diversity.


​Connect between gut and sleep

Your sleep hormone, melatonin is made in the brain but a lot of it is also in your gut. Thus, the bacteria in your gut needs to be healthy for a healthy melatonin level. To keep it simple, an unhealthy microbiome will mess up with your sleep. And if you know, losing on sleep can make fat cells 30 per cent less able to deal with your fat-storing hormone (insulin). 


​Leaky gut syndrome

People with leaky gut syndrome also have an increased level of fat and larger waist circumference. The leaky gut syndrome can lead to low-grade brain inflammation, which can further complicate weight loss by messing up with your hormones.

Get tested

There are not always symptoms that can point towards an underlying gut problem. By getting the lab test done, you can know if you have a leaky gut syndrome, SIBO, candida overgrowth or short-chain fatty acids and find out what’s really going in your gut.


​Increase your bacterial diversity

Probiotics work wonder in balancing your microbiome. A combination of bifidobacterial, enterococcus and lactobacillus have shown to have a positive effect on small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Probiotics work by influencing the balance of the microbiome and encouraging the population of healthy bacteria. Foods like sauerkraut, kimchee, kombucha and coconut kefir promote healthy bacterial diversity.


​Promote the healthy SCFAa

SCFAs are made when you eat probiotics and fibre rich foods. Load up on green leafy vegetables and fruits for added fibre and probiotics.

Scientists link bacterial imbalances to breast cancer

Scientists have discovered for the first time that bacterial composition of tissues in women with breast cancer differ from those of healthy people, a finding which could offer a new perspective in the battle against the deadly disease.

Researchers found that breast tissues of healthy women contain more of a bacterial species Methylobacterium. Bacteria that live in the body, known as the microbiome, influence many diseases. Most research has been done on the "gut" microbiome, or bacteria in the digestive tract.

It has been long suspected that a "microbiome" exists within breast tissue and plays a role in breast cancer but it has not yet been characterised. Research took the first step towards understanding the composition of the bacteria in breast cancer by uncovering distinct microbial differences in healthy and cancerous breast tissue.

"To my knowledge, this is the first study to examine both breast tissue and distant sites of the body for bacterial differences in breast cancer," said a researcher.

"Our hope is to find a biomarker that would help us diagnose breast cancer quickly and easily," said a Dr. "In our wildest dreams, we hope we can use microbiomics right before breast cancer forms and then prevent cancer with probiotics or antibiotics," he said.

The study examined the tissues of 78 patients who underwent mastectomy for invasive carcinoma or elective cosmetic breast surgery. In addition, they examined oral rinse and urine to determine the bacterial composition of these distant sites in the body.

In addition to the Methylobacterium finding, the team discovered that cancer patients urine samples had increased levels of gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus and Actinomyces. Further studies are needed to determine the role these organisms may play in breast cancer.

"If we can target specific pro-cancer bacteria, we may be able to make the environment less hospitable to cancer and enhance existing treatments, said a Dr. "Larger studies are needed but this work is a solid first step in better understanding the significant role of bacterial imbalances in breast cancer," said another Dr.

The study provides proof-of-principle evidence to support further research into the creation and utilisation of loaded nanoparticles targeting these pro-cancer bacteria.
