New research shows that prebiotics from chicory root—like inulin and FOS—may significantly reduce body weight, BMI, fat mass, and waist size. By nourishing beneficial gut bacteria, these plant fibers support fullness, reduce hunger, and offer a promising tool for healthy weight management.
Hops, best known for its role in beer, may have a surprising benefit: appetite control. A new study found that 500mg of hops extract significantly reduced calorie intake by 17% without affecting fullness or food enjoyment—pointing to its potential as a natural aid for weight management (Am J Clin Nutr, 2022).
Seaweed isn’t just for sushi—it may help with weight loss too. A new meta-analysis found that eating brown seaweed like kelp or sargassum significantly reduced BMI, body fat, and LDL cholesterol in overweight individuals.
Green tea extract continues to stand out for weight management. A new meta-analysis of 59 studies found it significantly reduces body weight, body fat, BMI, and oxidative stress—adding to the growing evidence for its metabolic benefits.
If your metabolism feels like it’s slowing with age or stress, you’re not imagining things. While those factors can make weight management trickier, there are science-backed strategies—like getting quality sleep and trying short-term fasting—that may help rev up your metabolic engine and support long-term health.
