About this listen

In Episode 23 of The Luke Coutinho Show, we uncover the fascinating link between your gut microbiome and fat loss—and why your gut truly is the foundation of overall health. From immunity and metabolism to brain and skin health, discover how supporting your microbiome can transform your well-being.

Here’s what you’ll explore in this episode:

  • Why your gut microbiome is the foundation of immunity, metabolism, hormones, and brain health.

  • How food diversity and eating a “rainbow plate” improve gut flora balance.

  • The role of friendly bacteria like bifidobacteria in producing folate and protective fatty acids.

  • Powerful prebiotic foods—apples, asparagus, onions, garlic, bananas, cacao—that feed good bacteria.

  • How polyphenol-rich foods like dark cacao, green tea, and olive oil reduce inflammation and harmful bacteria.

  • The benefits of seasonal and local eating for gut diversity, fat loss, and long-term health.
