Dr. Joseph Mercola - Take Control of Your Health

Gut Microbiota Play Pivotal Role in Disordered Eating Tied to Repeated Dieting

23 Sep 2025

Description

Repeated dieting followed by binging reshapes your gut bacteria in ways that increase cravings for junk food and make overeating harder to control The more you cycle between restriction and indulgence, the more your microbiome drives binge behavior by altering brain reward pathways People with binge-eating disorder have fewer beneficial gut microbes and higher levels of inflammation, disrupting mood, impulse control, and fullness signals Gut bacteria from yo-yo dieters triggered the same binge-eating behaviors in healthy animals, showing how powerful and transferable gut changes are Healing your gut with easy-to-digest carbs and targeted probiotics calms inflammation, restores microbiome balance, and helps break the restrict-binge cycle for good
