Your gut makes weight-loss hormones.
Now, most of us think of the digestive tract as basically a long tube. Food goes in, nutrients get absorbed, waste comes out.
But your gut is oh so much more than that.
Your intestinal tract is actually part of your endocrine system- your whole hormone system that I wrote about in my book-Get out of Hormone Hell 6 Heavenly Steps to Lose weight, feel great and reverse aging. The gut contains specialized cells called enteroendocrine cells that sense when and what you eat and release hormones in response.
