THE FAT LOSS ISSUE
A new study published this month ( May of 2026) in the Journal Nature, with 90 adults demonstrated SIGNIFICANT decrease in weight regain post fat loss for subjects with increased Akkermansia.
The surprising part of the study was in the post fat loss phase, 40% of Akkermansia users continued losing body fat.
Resetting the microbiome post fat loss by targeting Akkermansia, has been part of the Immune Centric/Beating The Rebound since it was first introduced in 2021. This study supports the 10 years ahead protocols of the Immune Centric approach. Solnul®, a key ingredient in Young Gut and Young Gut Ultra, has been clinically demonstrated to increase akkermansia 238% in 30 days,
While this is a nice validation, we need to be cautious not to over invest in the outcome of this study. Weight regain involves numerous mechanisms that all must be countered post fat loss.

DDT derivative
accumulates in fat
tissue, stunts fat
loss.
A derivative of the pesticide DDT known as DDE, accumulates in fat tissue. Upon fat loss, DDE is released into the serum. A recent study of 63 teens over 5 years showed that during fat loss, a lower exposure to DDE resulted in greater fat loss and less weight regain.
The primary source of DDT exposure is animal fat, meat and particularly fish from waters contaminated with DDT. Mothers can also expose children to DDE via breastmilk if mother has high levels in her body.
Menthol and Garlic trigger visceral fat release via TRPV3
v
Transient receptor potential vanilloid is a protein that regulates ion channels to control calcium flux in cells. A promising new mice study shows TRPV3 enhanced lipolysis in visceral fat by turning up a key fat loss enzyme, adipocyte triglyceride lipase (ATGL).
As it turns out, menthols seem to turn up TRPV3. In addition, other compounds like garlic and camphor also turn up TRPV3. Those of you who read the Immunity Code are familiar with the combo of cold + menthol for fat burning.
Carbs at Lunch Increased Fat Oxidation
More Than Protein in
Teens
It seems kids need their carbs. A new study examining the impact of lunch on fat oxidation during exercise later in the day revealed something interesting - carbs beat protein!
Although a small study, comprised of only 12 male teens, the surprising result suggests that carbs have a key role in maximal exercise performance and body composition. Teens who subbed out protein for carbs had greater fat oxidation, ca, better hormonal appetite, and reduced post-exercise energy intake.
