2 Surprising Reasons Why You Are Still “Fluffy”

1️⃣ Dysbiosis 👾 -
A calorie is definitely NOT a calorie. -
Depending on the bug population you are hosting, you could be more efficient at extracting calories from your food. -
This is one instance where efficiency carries undertones of negativity and more specifically of worsened body composition. -
So, in some cases these little tenants will make digestion an über profitable process in terms of energy yielded. -
It depends on the bacterial population you've Inherited at birth but lifestyle plays a big role as well. -
Also, dysbiosis can lead to insulin resistance and you might experience the whole gamut of metabolic disturbances.
-
In addition, 20% of inactive thyroid hormones are converted and activated in the gut. -
A shift in the microbial population may negatively impact the availability of T3 and as a consequence lower the metabolic rate.
-
Finally, unbalance in the gut microbiome can generate a chronic state of inflammation and increase cortisol production - which is detrimental to body composition over the long run.
-
2️⃣ Toxicity ☠☣ -
-
Toxicants decrease metabolic rate. -
How? -
They act on the cellular receptors by blunting them from the activation potential of afferent hormones such as T3 - the active form of thyroid hormones – whose role in metabolic rate needs not be reiterated. -
They also surprisingly tend to lower body temperature. So much so that new norms have been established to accommodate the downward shift. -
98 degree Fahrenheit is the new 98.6 🙃
-
Why does it matter? -
Well, all enzymes have an optimal temperature range in which they can perform better. Any variation will negatively impact enzymatic function. -
Since, E-VE-RY single bodily reaction is dependent upon enzymes, if the whole machinery slows down energy expenditure follows suit and fat accumulates.
-
Your body will readily accumulate fat since fat is a convenient storage place to get harmful toxicants out of the way. -
Are you still buying into the “a calorie is a calorie” myth? ✍️
