So to answer the question…to kill off dormant bacteria it can take up to 6 months. This highlights the importance that if any healthy habits are being adopted they must be sustained for at least this amount of time to result in permanent shifts in your microbiome.

Learn More »Just in case you haven’t heard by now (although I’m not sure where you’ve been if you haven’t!) gut health is kind of a big deal in the nutrition world. We know that certain biochemical reactions that go on in your gut can have implications for reducing inflammation, controlling appetite, controlling fat storage, regulating glucose metabolism, improving bowel regularity, increasing immune response, regulating neurotransmitter production and hence affecting brain and mood health and much more. If you’re interested in learning more about how to improve gut health and how long it actually takes, keep reading.

Then picture me if I had an extra 20kg on my body, I would have a different composition of gut bacteria that was reflective of me at that larger size. Now if the overweight me, did an 8 week challenge and lost a heap of weight, my bacteria composition would start to shift to be more reflective of a lean body shape. However, the bacteria doesn’t just die off that quickly, so in the meantime it can sit there dormant. Now that dormant bacteria likely thrived off refined and junk food that was the culprit of the extra body weight in the first place, so if after my 8 week challenge I go back to eating those foods, the bacteria are still there just waiting patiently until they can thrive on it again and hence the weight can be put back on, and very likely even more weight, which is what we refer to as re-bound weight gain. Something else to consider, especially for pathogenic bacteria is that they can exist in something called biofilm which in non scientific terms is basically a slime layer that encloses the bacteria as well as other molecules and is embedded in the matrix of the GI tract. This provides protection and can make it difficult for even something as strong as antibiotics to penetrate and kill off the bacteria. So to answer the question…to kill off dormant bacteria it can take up to 6 months. This highlights the importance that if any healthy habits are being adopted they must be sustained for at least this amount of time to result in permanent shifts in your microbiome. One thing we do know however is something that can speed up the killing off of dormant bacteria is polyphenols (you can read more about them here). You must take into consideration however what your starting point is. If you’ve just come off multiple rounds of antibitoics (which kill the good and the bad bacteria) then it might take more than 6 months for you to fully rebuild a healthy microbiome. Likewise if you’ve had a diet filled with processed food, lots of alcohol and a lot of stress. If biofilm is a barrier then it may take more time also and you might require added support with antimicrobial supplements too.
