Welcome to another weekend short of the Matter Over Mind Experience.
I am your host, Master Trainer & Weight Management Expert, Narado Zeco Powell
Let’s discuss how fasting can lead to a healthier microbiome

Before making any dietary changes, please consult a dietary or medical professional
Let’s begin
I want to highlight this PubMed article titled ” Beneficial Gut Microbiome Remodeled During Intermittent Fasting in Humans”
It states that Intermittent fasting (IF) is the practice of restricting food intake for 12-48 hours per fasting cycle over a prolonged period of time.
Previous studies show beneficial health effects such as weight loss and lower risk for cardiometabolic diseases.
Although reduced calorie intake may account for some of the observed benefits of IF, exact mechanisms are still unclear.
Recent evidence indicates that IF may lead to remodeling and increased taxonomic diversity in the human gut microbiome.
It goes on to say that IF-associated alterations to the microbiome may play a key role in the metabolic and potential healthspan-enhancing benefits of IF and dietary restriction.
According an article on Google Scholar “Brain–gut–microbiome interactions and intermittent fasting in obesity”
The obesity epidemic and its metabolic consequences are a major public health problem both in the USA and globally.
While the underlying causes are multifactorial, dysregulations within the brain–gut–microbiome (BGM) system play a central role.
The availability and marketing of inexpensive, highly palatable and calorie-dense food has played a crucial role in shifting this balance towards hedonic eating.
Circadian rhythmicity affects both eating behavior and multiple gut functions, as well as the composition and interactions of the microbiome with the gut.
It goes to reason that daily intermittent fasting, can improve our gut microbiome which we know is vital in disease prevention, improved health, weight management & more!
