Did you know that certain “good guy” bacteria in your gut can actually help with weight management?
One of the most important is Akkermansia, a friendly microbe that helps keep the gut lining strong, reduces inflammation, and supports healthy metabolism.
When Akkermansia levels are low—which we can see on the GI-MAP stool test —it may be harder to lose weight, even with diet and exercise, because your body isn’t getting the right gut support it needs.
The good news?
Once we know this, we can recommend natural alternatives that support GLP-1—a hormone that helps you feel full longer, balance blood sugar, and reduce cravings. These targeted, gut-friendly approaches can gently nudge your metabolism back in the right direction—without the side effects of weight-loss medications.
