How does a carnivore diet affect hormones? The two biggest changes you’ll see are high levels of stress hormones and reduced thyroid function, both from eating zero carbohydrates. Your body will pump out more cortisol and catecholamines to keep blood glucose levels stable and the fatty acid supply from fat tissue rolling. However, this can harm bone and blood vessel health over the long-term. As for thyroid, Insulin signaling facilitates the conversion of T4 to T3, so low-car

PRE-biotics are a specific type of fiber that facilitates the growth and maintenance of specific beneficial bacteria within the intestinal tract, while PRO-biotics are the beneficial bacteria themselves.⁣ ⁣ Taking prebiotic supplements, like partially hydrolyzed guar gum, 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘺 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘥, like when you take antibioti
