In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Oscar Coetzee, a leading expert in clinical nutrition and gut health, to unpack the critical (and often overlooked) role the microbiome plays in metabolism, cravings, and natural GLP-1 production. We explore why starting a GLP-1 with poor gut health can backfire, how specific bacteria influence hunger hormones and dopamine, and the emerging science behind “keystone” microbes that may control up to 85% of your metabolic function. If you’re considering a GLP-1, currently on one, or looking for a more natural, root-cause approach to weight loss—this conversation is essential. This episode will change how you think about your gut—and your path to lasting results. *** SHOW NOTES [ 00:00 ] Introduction: A Critical Warning Before Starting GLP-1 [ 04:00 ] Is the Gut Actually the First Brain?
