Heal Your Gut to Boost Mood, Energy + Focus: The Science You Need to Know | EP 84

If, like me, you're a bit of an entrepreneur, you don't mind taking some risks, it's possible that this might just dial it down a bit so that you're not quite the same person personality-wise as you were.

The experts I've seen who've been treating like 20,000 people on this aren't seeing anything clear because they've been dealing mainly with the obese patients. The people who don't really need it are not going to their medical practitioners. So we're not really getting good data on on what's happening. So that's why it's a really unclear picture at the moment.

But if you do suffer from an addiction, then it's probably one of the best ways to get off alcohol or drugs at the moment that we have. And so for those people, that personality change is a bonus. All I'm saying is there's a red flag around this other idea It could long-term change you, but there just isn't any hard data that I've been able to find about that.

And there's hardly even any stuff on how it affects your gut microbes. We do know that gut microbes can produce small amounts of this gut hormone, GLP-1 themselves. and we do naturally produce it. So some of these microbes might enhance it. And there's many companies claiming they've got products that naturally produce it. Most of these are in tiny amounts that probably don't have any real effect.

We don't know of any major disturbance to the gut on regular users as yet, but the numbers studied have been tiny. And this is something that With my company, Zoe, we want to look at, because we think we've got probably a couple of thousand GLP-1 users who have done the Zoe nutritional program, that we could look at their gut microbes.
