Did you start taking a magnesium supplement?

That actually tracks — if it’s effecting hormones or gut microbiome some well smell better but some will smell worse

I think this is accurate. I used to suffer from ibs/bad gas and since going on semaglutin (I’m not overweight) I don’t have this issue. I think just hit consuming as much sugar or carbs has shifted my gut.

It's pretty fascinating how your body odor has changed so dramatically. Hormones could definitely be playing a big role here, as they have a big say in a lot of our bodily functions, including sweat and how it smells. Besides hormones, there could be other factors at play too, like changes in your diet or even stress levels, even if they're not as noticeable day-to-day. Sometimes, even small tweaks in what we eat or how we live can shift the balance of bacteria on our skin, leading to changes in body odor. It's one of those things where your body might just be reacting differently now, and while it's a bit mysterious, it's also a cool reminder of how unique and ever-changing our bodies are. If it's got you curious or concerned, chatting with a doc could shed more light on what's happening.
