Stress Eating and the Microbiome Stress eating changes your gut microbes, which increases stress in a vicious cycle. By fixing your microbiome, you become more resilient, making it easier to gain back control.

As bariatric surgery evolves to make the most of GLP-1 drugs, issues of when and how to use them for best results are a key focus: http://ms.spr.ly/63320qwot8

There are a lot of errors in this misleading article. For instance… reducing the size of the stomach is only one way in which bariatric surgery works - it also increases GLP-1, PYY, and other gut hormones, reduces Ghrelin, increases blood bile acids, alters the microbiome among other benefits

This study found that for people with obesity, diet + exercise is not very effective for losing weight. We need a paradigm shift in how to treat this disease. GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide and bariatric surgery are better options.
