The microbial cause of recurrent obesity and weight regain | Dr. Eran Elinav

Many people who lose weight regain the lost weight often with additional pounds in a cycle known as recurrent (or "yo-yo") obesity. Research from Dr. Elinav's lab suggests that metabolic parameters normalize with weight loss, but characteristics of the microbiome remain unchanged. In other words, the microbiome holds a memory of past obesity that promotes weight regain. Preclinical studies indicate that repeated weight cycling shifts gut microbes to a configuration with an altered ability to metabolize flavonoids — compounds that usually help promote the burning of excess energy by adipose tissue. In this clip, Dr. Eran Elinav discusses the microbiome-related dynamics of weight regain and why some people have difficulty maintaining weight loss.
