What is gut health?

A healthy gut goes hand-in-hand with a healthy body. That’s because our gut is responsible for essential body functions like digestion and nutrient absorption.

 

Within your gut are trillions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Together, they make up something called the gut microbiome. Most of the bacteria in your gut microbiome are friendly. These friendly bacteria break food down into nutrients. They also help keep the “bad” bacteria in check. When you have balanced levels of bacteria in your gut, you have a balanced microbiome.

How to Support Gut Health While on Weight Loss Medications

Maintaining a balanced gut microbiome is essential for overall health, especially when taking weight loss medications. A healthy gut is supported by friendly bacteria, which can be nurtured through the right foods and supplements containing probiotics and prebiotics.

 

Probiotics: Adding Friendly Bacteria

Probiotics help balance your gut microbiome by introducing beneficial bacteria similar to those naturally found in your gut. You can find probiotics in:

  • Foods: Yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir, and other fermented products.

  • Supplements: Convenient probiotic capsules or powders tailored to your needs.

 

Prebiotics: Feeding Good Bacteria

Prebiotics are a type of fiber that promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. These are found in:

  • Foods: Beans, whole grains, vegetables, and fruits.

  • Supplements: Prebiotic powders or tablets can help meet daily fiber goals.

A good target is 25-28 grams of total fiber daily, including prebiotic fiber. While this may seem challenging, especially with a reduced appetite, fiber supplements can simplify achieving this goal.

 

Combine Probiotics and Prebiotics

For maximum benefit, pair probiotics and prebiotics in the same meal. For example, enjoy a cup of yogurt (probiotic) with a banana (prebiotic) for a simple and effective gut health boost.
