Calorie Utilisation

Your gut bacteria

  • Break down dietary fibers into SCFAs, providing extra energy.
  • Influence hormones that control hunger and fullness (ghrelin, leptin).
  • Affect how your body stores fat and manages blood sugar.

An imbalanced microbiome may:

  • Lead to excessive calorie extraction from food.
  • Contribute to weight gain or difficulty losing weight.
  • Affect insulin sensitivity, impacting metabolism.

A healthy microbiome supports efficient, balanced calorie utilization.
