Rooted Nutrition Therapies

Calories simply aren't the whole story.

If you've ever tried to lose weight by following a 1200 calorie diet, you probably already know this is true.

You set your calorie goal for weight loss, you track everything you eat, and you start losing weight.

But a few weeks in...

😫 You're hungry and cranky
😫 You can't stop thinking about tortilla chips and ice cream
😫 The scale stops moving and just won't budge

You wonder if your metabolism is broken. Or maybe you just don't have enough willpower.

I promise, this has nothing to do with your lack of willpower.

This strategy simply doesn't work for long term weight loss.

When it comes to weight loss, QUANTITY (how much you eat) matters, but so does QUALITY.

Going beyond calories and fueling your body with the right amount of nutrient-dense foods that also support gut health and hormone balance will lead to sustainable weight loss.

Oh yeah, and you'll also feel a heck uva lot better in your body 🙌🏼

What are the best probiotics for weight loss?

Here are a few specific strains of bacteria that have been shown in studies to help with weight loss:

🦠 Bifidobacterium lactis B420 has been found to control body fat mass and lower waist circumference

🦠 Akkermansia muciniphila helps regulate metabolism and can support weight loss by lowering inflammation and improving insulin sensitivity

🦠 Lactobacillus gasseri: a study found that this strain of bacteria led to weight loss, reduced body fat, and lower waist circumference

🦠 Bifidobacterium breve has been found to significantly reduce body weight, hip circumference, and waist circumference

🦠 Lactobacillus rhamnosus: a study found that women taking this probiotic lost 50% more weight in 3 months than those not taking the supplement

🦠 Lactobacillus plantarum has been found to reduce body weight, lower inflammation, and improve insulin sensitivity

I often recommend targeted probiotics to my client, along with nutrition and lifestyle strategies to optimize gut health for sustainable weight loss!
