10 Things that Affect your Blood Sugar, besides su 10 Things that Affect your Blood Sugar, besides sugar... - 1️⃣Insulin--is the key to getting sugar into the cell, insulin is released to lower blood sugar (BS) levels - 2️⃣Potassium-has insulin-like effects, which helps sugar get into the cell, which can help lower BS. - 3️⃣Cortisol--In the absence of sugar, cortisol breaks down your tissue and converts it into glucose to elevate BS levels. AKA Gluconeogenesis - 4️⃣Glucagon-Promotes the breakdown of glycogen into glucose in the liver, elevating BS levels. AKA Glycogenolysis - 5️⃣Adrenaline--Through both glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis adrenaline can elevate BS levels - 6️⃣Thyroid-hypothyroidism can create low and high blood sugar levels. Thus, thyroid can help regulate BS levels. - 7️⃣Your health-If you have high fat the blood (diabetic, metabolic syndrome, some cancers), your body will have a harder time utilizing sugar, thus sugar will remain in your blood longer--creating high blood sugar - 8️⃣Your diet-consuming sugar by itself will elevate sugar FASTER that sugar consumed with fats and proteins. 9️⃣PUFAs- A high PUFA diet can elevate FFA in the blood, leading to elevated BS levels. - 🔟The type of Sugar-fructose has little affect on BS, while glucose will elevate blood sugar levels - Yet, what are we told if someone has HIGH blood sugar levels? - STOP ingesting sugar. 🤨 - How does this make sense? - 👉Like cholesterol and salt, sugar becomes the easy target, because it is the "thing" that is elevated in your blood. Yet, there are so many other factors that could be contributing to elevated blood sugar. So why only focus on one?!!?? - 👉Your blood sugar levels can shift by a number of things including hormones, minerals, your diet, types of sugars and your health. To focus on ONLY sugar makes no sense! Yet, our anti-sugar crazed society does it all the time. The question is, is there a smarter, healthier, safer way to treat HIGH blood sugar levels? Tune in Monday when I discuss the MAIN culprit for HIGH blood sugar and what you can do regulate your BS. #howtohealyourmetabolism #healing #metabolism #bloodsugar #cortisol #thyroid #adrenaline #fructose #PUFA #sugar #insulin #glucagon #yourhealth
I am not sure who needs to hear this, but... - 👉"Personal importance or taking things personally, is the maximum expression of selfishness because you make the assumption that everything is about "me". - 👉Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves. All people live in their own dream, in their own mind; they are in a completely different world form the one you live in." - -Don Miguel Ruiz - There are three very common words being used in today's culture, that are supporting a world of self importance- "I am offended". - It seems you can not say or do anything anymore, without offending someone. Yet, what you have to realize is if you are taking offense by someone else's words or behaviors, you are making their actions/words about you. And guess what, their stuff is not about you--it is about them. You get to decide if you want to make it about you and become offended. - If you want to save yourself hours/days/weeks/lifetime of pain, anger and hurt then stop taking things personally. Hint--taking things personally does not help you grow or become a better human--in fact, it will do the opposite. - When you stop taking things personally, you are immune to people's emotional garbage. You understand their behavior is about them and not about you. When you stop taking things personally, your heart becomes open and your life becomes free, as you know you can not be hurt by other peoples words or behavior. - DO. NOT. TAKE. THINGS. PERSONALLY. ❤️🧡💛💚💙 - PS. The book, "The Four Agreements" is literally my favorite book in the world, outside of my own. 😉 If you do not have this amazing book--BUY IT! #howtohealyourmetabolism #Healing #metabolism #thefouragreements #donluismiguel #donttakethingspersonally #freedom #choice #youchoose #growth #iamoffended
🔹Four BIG reasons Why Carbs/Sugars are so Impor 🔹Four BIG reasons Why Carbs/Sugars are so Important!!!🔹 👉Brain Power Gucose is the preferred source of energy for almost every cell in the human body. Glucose is the brain’s main source of energy. In fact, your brain can use up to 1/2 of your consumed/stored glucose. The more you think, the more glucose your brain will need. Without carbohydrates you may feel light-headed, scattered, and forgetful. *The red blood cells and cells of the retina can only use glucose as energy since these cells lack a mitochondria. 👉Muscle Power Glucose is needed for quick muscle energy. Muscle glycogen (stored glucose) is needed for quick energy, especially when weight training and sprinting. If your body is depleted of muscle glycogen, your body will utilize your own muscle, tissue, organs, and fat to provide energy to your muscles while under stress (exercising). *It is important to note that, at rest, your muscles preferred source of energy is fat. Increasing muscle mass is a good argument for helping reduce fat, since the more muscle you have the more fat you will burn at rest. Burning fat at rest is the safest way to get rid of stored fat, since it produces less oxidative damage. 👉Thyroid Function For proper metabolism, glucose is needed by the liver to convert thyroxin (T4) to the active triiodothyronine (T3). T3 is needed by all the cells to produce ATP (energy). Without adequate T3 you will have decreased cellular function (slower metabolism). *People on low-carbohydrate diets are notorious for having low body temperature and decreased cellular function. This is attributed to the low intake of carbs (sugars), which will contribute to lower T3 conversion and lower metabolic function. 👉Liver Detox Finally, the liver needs glucose to help with proper detoxification. Low levels of stored glucose (glycogen) will encourage a sluggish liver. This is why fasting and detox programs that restrict carbs (fruits, juices, milk) make NO sense. These programs may help clean out your colon, but they hinder the performance of your liver. The liver is your main detox organ. If you hinder the liver’s performance, how can it detox properly? Do. Not. Be. Afraid. Of. Carbs.
Carbohydrates/Sugars - 🍎🍐🍊🍌🍉🍇🍑 🥭🍒🥔🥕🌶🍍🍠 🥛🍯🥝🍆🍓🍅🧉 - The Basics... - 1️⃣. Carbohydrates are your primary source of energy. Consuming the right carbohydrates is needed for a high metabolic rate, increased CO2 levels, decreased oxidative damage, good brain function, muscle energy and recovery, and detoxing the liver. - 2️⃣. Simple sugars like fructose, glucose, sucrose, and lactose are your best sources. These include: fruits, honey, milk, white sugar, fruit juices, and root vegetables. - 3️⃣. Carbohydrates should never be eaten alone. Always combine carbohydrates with a fat and protein (e.g., fruit and cheese, eggs and OJ, and milk and honey). - 4️⃣. Low-carb dieting, although effective for quick loss, long term will lead to fatigue, sugar cravings, sleep issues, hormone issues, muscle wasting, and weight gain. - 5️⃣. When adding sugars back into your diet, start slowly. Even the right sugars, added in too quickly, will lead to weight gain, bloating, and hormonal issues. - Sometimes, you need to keep it simple people.😉 - For more information on the foods you can use to heal: Check out my book, "How to Heal Your Metabolism" 👉Links in BIO

Part 2 Muscle Meat. What you need to know. 🍗🥩🥓 Yesterday we chatted about the benefits and possible negatives affects of muscle meats.--I say possible, because the dose makes the poison. 👉People always want to know how much muscle meat is safe? Well, the answer will depend on you. 👉Usually, the healthier the person, the more muscle meat they can handle without negative effects. Most healthy people do fine eating muscle meat two or three times per week (or more). I eat muscle meat, primarily lean beef and bison, a few times per week. This looks very different from the diet I ate years ago, which consisted of daily chicken and turkey consumption. I find most people's health improves when reducing muscle meats and replacing it with a combination of eggs, dairy, organ meats, fish and bone broth. 👉For someone in a severely hypo-metabolic state (slow running metabolism), or who has diabetes, arthritis, gout, cancer, or any other inflammatory disease, I would suggest eliminating muscle meat altogether or at least until your health improves. When your system is compromised, muscle meat consumption can place a burden on your liver, digestive system, bones, and joints. For these people it is best to stick with the super proteins and limit the muscle meats to special occasions. For those that choose to consume muscles meats, despite your health, there are a few "hacks" that can make your muscle meat consumption less inflammatory. 👉-Consume with a cup of bone broth or a tablespoon of added gelatin. Bone broth produces a better amino acid profile and adds additional calcium. 👉-Drink a cup of milk with your meal to balance out the CA:PH ratio, and reduce iron absorption. 👉-Add a cup of coffee to decrease iron absorption 👉-Cook in a saturated fat like coconut oil, butter, tallow or ghee, to balance out the PUFA, if you consume a non-ruminant animal. 👉-Consume with adequate carbohydrates like fruits and roots to balance the blood sugar and inhibit the breakdown of proteins into sugars.

Part 1 Muscle meat. What you need to know. - I ha Part 1 Muscle meat. What you need to know. - I have had a lot of people message me lately, about eating muscle meats. So I thought I'd do a little post discussing the pros and cons of meat eating. - 👉First, what are the muscle meats? 🥓🥩🍗 - Muscle meats are meats that come from the muscle of animals--who would have thought? Chicken, beef, bison, lamb, venison, duck, turkey and pork are all muscle meats. All muscle meats are complete proteins - 👉Of course, not all muscle meats are created equal. Meats from wild animals and/or grass-fed ruminants will produce healthier and leaner cuts. Wild and ruminant animal's diet is mostly leaves, grass, and foliage. Farmed, caged, non-ruminant animals are primarily fed grain, corn and soy. This means less fat and more importantly less polyunsaturated fats in wild and ruminant meats. These meats include grass-fed cows, bison, lamb, venison, wild boar and even duck. Which means it is best to limit meats like chicken, turkey and farmed pig. - 👉-All muscle meat are high quality protein and contain all essential amino acids 👉-Contains creatine, taurine, glutathione, and CLA 👉-Contain vitamins B1, B3, B12, C, and minerals zinc, iron, phosphorus and selenium In addition, grass-fed meats contain 👉-Higher amounts of vitamin E 👉-Higher amounts of B vitamins, particularly thiamin and riboflavin 👉-Less fat/PUFA-higher amounts of CLA/congugated Linoleic acid - Of course, there are some downsides to ALL muscle meats - 👉Muscle meats are high in the inflammatory amino acids tryptophan, cysteine, histidine, and methionine. Unfortunately, excess inflammatory amino acids can initiate a stress response in the body increasing the hormone cortisol and lowering thyroid function. - Increased muscle meat breakdown allows for increased inflammatory amino acids in the blood. Anyone with an autoimmune disorder should limit their muscle meat intake. The increased meat intake will exacerbate their condition due to the inflammatory amino acids. - More below👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 #howtohealyourmetabolism #healing #metabolism #musclemeat #calcium #parathyroidhormone #thyroid #bvitamins
🔸🔸Weathering the shitstorm...🔸🔸 - "Our 🔸🔸Weathering the shitstorm...🔸🔸 - "Our most radical changes in perspective often happen at the tail end of our worst moments. It's only when we feel intense pain that we're willing to look at our values and question why they seem to be failing us. We need some sort of existential crisis to take an objective look at how we've been deriving meaning in our life, and then consider changing course. You could call it "hitting bottom" or "having an existential crisis". I prefer to call it "weathering the shitstorm." - Maybe you are in that place right now. Perhaps you're coming out of the most significant challenge of your life and are bewildered because everything you previously thought to be true and normal and good (ie. eat less/workout more, bad things don't happen to good people, life is fair, etc. ) has turned out to be the opposite. - 👉That's good--that's the beginning."👈 - -Mark Mason "The subtle art of not Giving a Fuck" - Personally, I have been been through many Shit storms in my life. Apparently, I like to learn lessons the hard way. When this happnes, life turns you upside down, throws you against a wall and punches you in the face (at least that is what it feels like) and well, it sucks balls. - Pain sucks. - Yet, feeling the pain AND breathing through the pain is a part of the healing process. The pain is what pushes you to change. - Looking back, these were the times that I grew the most. Weathering the storms, made me make some BIG changes and I became better, stronger, and more resilient. Life may never be the same, but pain shifts your perspective, and once you get through the shit, you start to see the beauty in your growth.🌱 - The shit is only the fertilizer, that is going to help you grow into a beautiful flower. 🌹 - If you are new to this page, you will start to realize, I am here to turn your life upside down, at least when it comes to everything nutrition. And if your head is spinning, and you start to see everything is the opposite of what you thought you knew, then good, you are ready to begin... - Welcome to your New Journey! 🙃 #howtohealyourmetabolism #metabolism #healing #shitstorm #breakthrough #unlearningeverything
In my opinion, the #1 reason for most people's sym In my opinion, the #1 reason for most people's symptoms, illnesses and disease is an energy utilization issue. - 👉Too much energy 👉Too little energy 👉The wrong types of energy. - And in my experience, MOST people's symptoms, illnesses and diseases can be fixed, or at the very least improved, if they start utilizing the RIGHT energy/food better. - So what does this mean? - It means fuel, primarily carbs, needs to be easily accessible to your cells. The health of your body and the food you eat will play a role in this action. - Thus, since your body needs the right fuel to heal, the first place to begin for improved utilization of fuel is to CONSUME easy to digest foods and REMOVE the foods that may be inhibiting the digestive process. - So what should you do? - 1️⃣ Eat more easy to digest sugars like fruits, roots, honey, juices and well cooked veggies. Proteins: shellfish, dairy, eggs, broth, organ meats and gelatin. And fats: coconut oil, ghee, tallow and butter. - 2️⃣ Remove foods that are challenging for your body to break down--nuts, seeds, legumes, soy, vegetable oils, raw leafy greens, raw cruciferous vegetables, processed foods and packaged foods. - 3️⃣ Avoid/reduce things that may contribute to digestive upset: alcohol, drugs (the ones you can avoid), crappy supplements, shitty people, and toxic environments, and pandemics-:/. --Do the best you can. - 4️⃣ Balance your blood sugar. A balanced blood sugar keeps your body from going into "stress mode". Anytime you need fuel and it is unavailable a series of stress hormone rise creating more havoc on your body. Eating a carb/protein/fat every 3-4 hours will help keep your blood sugar in check. This helps with both OVER consuming foods and UNDER consuming foods. - 5️⃣ Eat a raw carrot salad, cooked mushrooms or cooked bamboo shoots to help keep the bowel moving. A healthy bowl allows for fuel and nutrients to be digested and absorbed better, so you can use it to heal! - Two more below👇👇👇👇👇👇 - #howtohealyourmetabolism #healing #metabolism #eatrealfood #digestion #carbsrule #staycommitted #prometabolic
The oyster-aphrodisiac connection - Myth or Truth? The oyster-aphrodisiac connection - Myth or Truth? - True Baby! - Oysters are absolutely an aphrodisiac. - The question is why? - Is it because people look super sexy slurping back a raw mollusks covered 🦪 in hot sauce🌶? - Meh, Maybe...or no. 🤪 - Or maybe it is due to oyster's moist, firm, pulsating meat that is filled with natural juices with the sent of the sea?😋 - Sure, this is possible. - Yet, the real reason oysters work are an aphrodisiac is due to this VERY important mineral. A mineral that is helpful in people, who want to get jaggy-with-it. 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 - What is this mineral? ZINC! Yep, you guessed consuming adequate zinc, can support a healthy libido. How? 👉-Zinc is an essential nutrient in testosterone production for both men and women. 👉-Zinc is an aromatase inhibitor. Thus, low zinc can increase the production of estrogen. Excessive estrogen can increase SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin), which can bind to testosterone, making it inactive. 👉-For men, the prostate gland requires 10x more zinc, than any other organ. The prostate produce semon and ensure healthy ejaculation. 👉-Zinc deficiency and low testosterone can result in the inhibition of spermatogenesis in men. 👉-For women, Zinc is needed for the production of both follicular and luteal hormones. Thus, low levels of zinc can affect estrogen and progesterone production, decreasing libido. Of course, this is not the entirety of zincs functions in the body, it is a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic functions, plays a huge role in your immune system, cell growth, wound healing and energy level. And of course, zinc plays a HIUGE role in your endocrine system! So, if you been feeling like the libido needs a little kick in the ASS--go get your oyster on. PS. If oyster is not your cup of tea, then other foods with zinc are shrimp, crab, mussels, meat, dairy eggs and chocolate can make a difference. #howtohealyourmetabolism #healing #metabolism #zinc #oysters #aphrodisiac #libido #sexeducation #testosterone #testosteronebooster
Got Stress? - I don't know about you, but this wee Got Stress? - I don't know about you, but this week has been a tad stressful. In fact, this YEAR has been a tad stressful. - Can I hear an AMEN! - Therefore, I thought it was a good time to revisit, 6 things that can help LOWER STRESS! - 1️⃣. Remove/reduce the stress. If news is stressing you, then turn it off. If your work is stressing you, then take a day off. If your spouse is stressing you, then create some alone time for yourself. If none of these are possible, then go for a walk, get some fresh air, take some deep breaths, meditate, listen to music, sing, do art, journal, call a friend, turn off your social media! - 2️⃣. Consume Healthy Sugars. Fruit 🍊, roots🥕, milk 🥛, honey 🍯 and juices . For you to LOWER your stress hormones, you have to consume enough healthy sugars! If you are not consuming sugars, and your liver glycogen stores are low, thus stress hormones will RISE to break down your valuable muscle/connective tissue/thymus gland to produce usable energy/glucose. - 3️⃣. Consume HIGH mineral foods that are easy to digest. Fruits. Roots. Honey. Juices. Milk -Calcium will help lower Parathyroid hormone and prolactin levels -Potassium has insulin like qualities helping to shuttle sugars into the cell -Magnesium supports the nervous system helping with sleep, anxiety and nervousness -Sodium can help lower aldosterone. Aldosterone rises to increase blood pressure under stress. Increase aldosterone will lower magnesium. Thus, Na preserves Mg levels. - 4️⃣. Consume gelatin/collagen. Gelatin is promoted as the anti-stress protein. This is due to its high amount of the amino acid glycine and its low levels of the inflammatory amino acids tryptophan, cysteine, methionine, and histidine. - 5️⃣. Get some sun. Darkness is stressful to the body, sunlight can reduce the stress hormones. Red light from sunlight helps cells produce energy and synthesize protective steroid hormones and Vitamin D. - 6️⃣. Get to sleep. Sleep helps to restore and regenerate your cells mitochondria. The cells’ mitochondria are where we produce the majority of our energy. More mitochondria result in more energy, which equals a higher metabolic rate and more resistance to stress.
Part 2 of the Interview. - Vitamin D, hair loss, Part 2 of the Interview. - Vitamin D, hair loss, red light, sex and more. - ➡️Please note, these are highlights from an interview with Dr. Ray Peat. There are many interesting nuggets. Take what resonates with you, and leave the rest. - 👉VITAMIN D🌞 -Vitamin D is the SINGLE most important issue in pandemics. Get your D up! -Take Vitamin D if you can not get sun.   -Adults need about 5000IUs/day.   -You have to get serum D UP to make a difference--Make sure you consume cholecalciferol or calcidiol.  -NOT 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol . (AKA activated D) -We only convert normal (stored/calcidiol/25) D to 1,25 dihdroxy...(active D) under STRESS. If we are deficient in 25 D, our body will convert what we have to 1,25 D (active). This does all kind of destructive calcification things... -If you take Calcium, the sun (or other healthful D--even cod liver oil or halibut liver oil), you will get low levels of activated D. CLO has very little PUFA, but lots of A and D. --not his first pick, but OK if that is all you can get for A and D. -In Winter, Sun is less potent -At Oregon and SF in winter you would have to sit in sun for 8 plus hours to get enough daily sun in winter -If someone has taken too much supplemental vitamin D (upwards of 250,000IUS for weeks), they can show calcification.  -Symptoms that can disappear with enough D--depression, body pains, weakness, rheumatoid arthritis -You want level to be about 50ng/ml -Best foods are beef, chicken liver--good for A, D, K. High in iron and phosphate so ONLY eat 1 good serving/week, CLO is ok, if only source. - 👉QUESTIONS: -Help with hair loss. Once head is bald, hair follicle and tissue are damaged, thus it has laid down collagen and fiberous cells. Cells need activated. Massage head. Use niacin or aspirin on head--creating a mild inflammation, to stimulate the removal of fiberous tissue. Parathyroid needs to be low, also get enough calcium and D. Do NOT eat a lot of meat--high phosphate is turning up PTH. - More below👇👇👇👇👇 - #howtohealyourmetabolism #healing #metabolism #raypeat #vitamind

Finally, I was able to sit myself down, without distraction to get my Peat fix. As always this interview was filled with great information--some even surprised me. - -CV-nobody is dying of flu viruses anymore -Massive fall offs of deaths from heart attacks, strokes, cancer. -If you didn't know what a person died of, they were labeled CV -Even those testing negative were marked as positive tests -PCR is running past its capacity, thus it has been producing false positives (as many as 95%) -Anything over 35 amplitudes would be giving false positives -World Economic Forum--Schwab thinks this is the perfect scenario to shift to artificial intelligence -13,000 significant injuries reported from Vaccines -We have intrinsic enzymes that can turn RNA into DNA -Cancer Is always sending out signals for help. Even when you cut cancer out, the wound area is still sending out warning signs to repair cells. Whenever you cut out a cancer you have not destroyed the environment of the area the cancer was produced. AS to why some many cancers are reaccuring. Some say those that do nothing vs those that get cancer removed will live longer. -Virus come from higher organisms. They are derived from exosomes. A sick animal is spreading particles around, and another will pick up these sick particles, the sick particles can further derange cells of the new sick organism. -Germ warfare was condemned back in Nixon years, but was continued to make sure we could protect ourselves if other countries developed bio-warfare. -So there were no end to military germ warfare. It was renamed vaccine -warfare. - -Vaccine Risk: See below👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 #howtohealyourmetabolism #healing #metabolism #raypeat #CV @@patricktimpone
Six simple Nutrition Tips that EVERYBODY will bene Six simple Nutrition Tips that EVERYBODY will benefit from... 1️⃣. Eat more REAL food. Fresh fruit, cooked vegetables, juices, roots, eggs, dairy, shellfish, white fish, grass fed organ and muscle meats, you know stuff that actually spoils. If you have a farmers market, shop local. If you have some land, plant a garden. At the end of the day, buy the best food you can afford and do not stress over it. 2️⃣. Eat foods with a HIGH bioavailabilty of nutrients. Liver, oysters, milk, eggs, sweet fruits, cooked fruits, cooked vegetables, honey, etc. All of these foods are packed full of nutrients, without a ton of antinutrients that would hinder the nutrients absorption. *Refer to Mondays post on nutrient bioavailabilty. 3️⃣. Eat less crap. Processed foods, processed carbs-like breads, cookies, cakes, fast foods, foods in bag or box, stuff cooked in canola oil--most prepackaged foods, fast food, most restaurants foods, foods with additive, fillers and preservatives. Of course, occasional crap is fine--balance people. 4️⃣. Combine carbs, protein and fats in the same meal. A good macro breakdown to start with could be 50% carbs and 25% of fat and 25% protein. YOUR ideal macro breakdown will depend on your health, goals and previous diet. 5️⃣. Eat mindfully. CHEW your food people! Serve your food on a salad plate vs a dinner plate. Eat with friends and family. Eat without the distractions of TV, computers, etc. Taste your food, enjoy the experience, pay attention to how you feel when eating and STOP when you are full. 6️⃣. Eat a meal frequency that feels good/right to you. There is no set amount of meals you should eat. For many small, frequent meals work best--especially if you have blood sugar issues or are looking to lose weight. For weight maintenance, less frequent, bigger meals may be preferred. Which ever meal frequency makes you feel good is the RIGHT frequency for you! #howtohealyourmetabolism #healing #metabolism #nutrition #foodfrequency #macrocountiing #nutrientbioavailability #highnutrientrichfoods #doyourbest #bemindful

So when I got my new bottle of @saturee_official bloom gelatin in the mail, I was all over their coffee gelatin cube recipe. I changed it up a bit, because, you know, I hate following the rules to anything... Making gummies out of coffee may be a great way for some of you, who can not handle coffee, to start introducing it without the jittery side affects (due to your body unable to handle the thermogenic affects of coffee-yet). Plus, this a good time time to remind you of all the amazing benefits of gelatin: 👉Supports gut health 👉Supports bone, skin and hair health 👉Improves sleep 👉Muscle sparing 👉Decreases joint inflammation 👉Improves allergies 👉Helps to stabilize blood sugar 👉Improves wound healing 👉Improves liver detoxification Ingredients: 1️⃣ 2 cups of 2% milk (you can use full fat, if you prefer) 2️⃣ 1 cup of brewed coffee 3️⃣ 6 Tablespoons of sugar/ or 5 T. honey 4️⃣ 5 T.

I have heard all sorts of claims that celery juice can clean and heal the liver, decrease inflammation, improve thyroid issues, help with allergies, hypertension and more. - Let's take a closer look... - Here is the nutritional profile of 8 oz. of celery juice - Celery Juice: 240ml/ 8 ounces Calories: 40 Carbohydrates: 8 grams Vitamin C: 8 mg (15% DV) Potassium: 700 mg (20% DV) Sodium: 200mg - Celery Juice also contains, apigenin and luteolin, which are believed to help with inflammation, hypertension, allergies, cancer, and neurological disorders. - So, does it work? Well, for those that drink it, they definitely think it does...I think it taste like S*#t, so I'd rather drink a tastier, more satisfying option, that I will share below... - In my opinion, the benefits of drinking daily celery juice are primarily, coming from its high potassium and sodium content. - These "Magic" Minerals can 👉Improve digestion 👉Regulate blood sugar 👉Lower stress hormones 👉Improve insulin sensitivity 👉Regulate blood pressure 👉Support muscle activation 👉Improve magnesium levels 👉Support better sleep, 👉Support thyroid function Which can ALL lead to supporting liver health, decreasing inflammation, supporting thyroid, helping with allergies and improving hypertension. The drawbacks of drinking celery juice? 👉Not only is juicing 8-16oz of celery juice time consuming, it can get expensive as it takes quite a bit of celery to make 8-16oz oz. of celery juice. 👉In addition, celery can be an allergen to some, which can lead to digestive upset, skin issues, or respiratory problems. 👉Plus, drinking 8-16oz of celery juice can be tough to stomach for many (including me), so I'd rather consume another HIGH mineral beverage, that can create similar benefits. See below for my mineral drink suggestion👇👇👇👇👇👇
🟥The Bioavailability of Nutrients🟥 👉Why i 🟥The Bioavailability of Nutrients🟥 👉Why is it important? - Bioavailability of a nutrient is considered to be the relative absorption of a nutrient from the diet. - Several factor can play a role in a nutrients bioavailability, these include: 1️⃣-What form the nutrient is being delivered in (animal, plant, supplement) 2️⃣-What other cofactors are needed for optimal absorption (cooking, other nutrients) 3️⃣-What other cofactors may inhibit a nutrient's absorption 4️⃣-The health of the person (gut health, metabolism, need) - Bioavailability is important to understand because someone may be eating a diet rich in nutrients, yet if the nutrients are not released and/or absorbed during the digestive process, they will be of no nutritional value. - Lets look at a few examples, so you can see what I am taking about... - Calcium. 👉Phytates and oxalates can inhibit calcium absorption. (ie spinach, legumes) 👉Cooking foods will decrease the affects of oxalates and phytates, so the bioavailability of calcium can increase with cooking. 👉Sugar and vitamin D will increase calcium absorption. (ie milk) 👉Alcohol, intestinal disease, dietary fiber and smoking can decrease calcium absorption - Vitamin A 👉Animal source vitamin A (retinal) is 10x more bioavailable than plant source (beta carotene). 👉Beta carotene converts to Vitamin A in the liver, yet, if the liver is undernourished, preventing beta carotene from converting, it builds up in the tissue vs being utilized. Thus, poor liver health will decrease the bioavailability of Vitamin A. 👉Dietary fat will increase Vitamin Absorption 👉Intestinal disease, alcohol, and interaction with drugs can inhibit vitamin A absorption - Iron 👉Heme iron (animal source) is more bioavailable than non-heme (plant) 👉Phytates, calcium and polyphenols will inhibit iron absorption 👉Vitamin C will increase the absorption of iron (non-heme) 👉Iron absorption is regulated via the small intestine. Those that need more iron, will absorb more, those that need less, will absorb less. - More below👇👇👇👇👇👇
Progesterone vs. Progestins. - What is the differe Progesterone vs. Progestins. - What is the difference? - 🔹PROGESTINS🔹 - 👉-Progestins are a synthetic source of progesterone, designed to be similar to progesterone, yet, they are anything but that... - 👉-Progestin's are usually made from soy or yams (like natural progesterone), yet their molecular structure has been altered. Drugs companies do this so they can be patented and sold for more profit. - 👉-Progestins are researched more than natural progesterone, thus they are FDA approved. Drug companies have no desire to do research on hormones they can not patent. Due to this, progestins are prescribed by medical doctors far more than natural progesterone. - 👉-Prescribed to treat abnormal bleeding from uterus, or to help women restore their cycle. As a form of birth control. They are also prescribed to reduce menopausal symptoms. - 👉-Progestins have been linked to birth defects, cancer, strokes, blood clots, heart attacks, skin issues, loss of hair, stomach pain, nausea, and fever. - 👉-The most common progestins are the medroxyprogesterone (Provera, Amen and MPA). - 🔸PROGESTERONE🔸 - 👉-A natural or bio-identical form of progesterone is designed to be exactly like the progesterone made in your body. - 👉-Like Progestins, natural progesterones are made from soy or wild yams. It should be noted, that by the time the soy or wild yam becomes progesterone, it has no resemblance to the original plant. A substance called diosgenin is extracted from the soy or yams and then modified to make progesterone. Essentially, if you see your progesterone is make from soy, do not worry, there is NO soy left by the time the progesterone is created--thus, it is NOT estrogenic. - 👉-Progesterone has been linked to healthier babies, anti-cancer, bone and heart supportive, Improved immunity, improved blood sugar, improved vascular tone, and much more--see Part 2. - A few other things to think about... - See more below👇👇👇👇👇 #howtohealyourmetabolism #healing #metabolism #progesterone #progestins #breastcancer #cancer #menopause

10 Things that Affect your Blood Sugar, besides sugar...-1️⃣Insulin--is the key to getting sugar into the cell, insulin is released to lower blood sugar (BS) levels-2️⃣Potassium-has insulin-like effects, which helps sugar get into the cell, which can help lower BS.-3️⃣Cortisol--In the absence of sugar, cortisol breaks down your tissue and converts it into glucose to elevate BS levels. AKA Gluconeogenesis-4️⃣Glucagon-Promotes the breakdown of glycogen into glucose in the liver, elevating BS levels. AKA Glycogenolysis-5️⃣Adrenaline--Through both glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis adrenaline can elevate BS levels-6️⃣Thyroid-hypothyroidism can create low and high blood sugar levels. Thus, thyroid can help regulate BS levels.-7️⃣Your health-If you have high fat the blood (diabetic, metabolic syndrome, some cancers), your body will have a harder time utilizing sugar, thus sugar will remain in your blood longer--creating high blood sugar-8️⃣Your diet-consuming sugar by itself will elevate sugar FASTER that sugar consumed with fats and proteins. 9️⃣PUFAs- A high PUFA diet can elevate FFA in the blood, leading to elevated BS levels.-🔟The type of Sugar-fructose has little affect on BS, while glucose will elevate blood sugar levels-Yet, what are we told if someone has HIGH blood sugar levels?-STOP ingesting sugar. 🤨-How does this make sense?-👉Like cholesterol and salt, sugar becomes the easy target, because it is the "thing" that is elevated in your blood. Yet, there are so many other factors that could be contributing to elevated blood sugar. So why only focus on one?!!??-👉Your blood sugar levels can shift by a number of things including hormones, minerals, your diet, types of sugars and your health. To focus on ONLY sugar makes no sense!-Yet, our anti-sugar crazed society does it all the time.-The question is, is there a smarter, healthier, safer way to treat HIGH blood sugar levels?-Tune in Monday when I discuss the MAIN culprit for HIGH blood sugar and what you can do regulate your BS. ...

I am not sure who needs to hear this, but...-👉"Personal importance or taking things personally, is the maximum expression of selfishness because you make the assumption that everything is about "me". -👉Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves. All people live in their own dream, in their own mind; they are in a completely different world form the one you live in."--Don Miguel Ruiz-There are three very common words being used in today's culture, that are supporting a world of self importance- "I am offended".-It seems you can not say or do anything anymore, without offending someone. Yet, what you have to realize is if you are taking offense by someone else's words or behaviors, you are making their actions/words about you. And guess what, their stuff is not about you--it is about them. You get to decide if you want to make it about you and become offended. -If you want to save yourself hours/days/weeks/lifetime of pain, anger and hurt then stop taking things personally. Hint--taking things personally does not help you grow or become a better human--in fact, it will do the opposite. -When you stop taking things personally, you are immune to people's emotional garbage. You understand their behavior is about them and not about you. When you stop taking things personally, your heart becomes open and your life becomes free, as you know you can not be hurt by other peoples words or behavior.-DO. NOT. TAKE. THINGS. PERSONALLY. ❤️🧡💛💚💙-PS. The book, "The Four Agreements" is literally my favorite book in the world, outside of my own. 😉 If you do not have this amazing book--BUY IT!Best $6.00 you will every spend.www.amazon.com/gp/product/1878424319?ie=UTF8&tag=katedeering47-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creative... ...

🔹Four BIG reasons Why Carbs/Sugars are so Important!!!🔹👉Brain PowerGucose is the preferred source of energy for almost every cell in the human body. Glucose is the brain’s main source of energy. In fact, your brain can use up to 1/2 of your consumed/stored glucose. The more you think, the more glucose your brain will need. Without carbohydrates you may feel light-headed, scattered, and forgetful. *The red blood cells and cells of the retina can only use glucose as energy since these cells lack a mitochondria.👉Muscle PowerGlucose is needed for quick muscle energy. Muscle glycogen (stored glucose) is needed for quick energy, especially when weight training and sprinting. If your body is depleted of muscle glycogen, your body will utilize your own muscle, tissue, organs, and fat to provide energy to your muscles while under stress (exercising). *It is important to note that, at rest, your muscles preferred source of energy is fat. Increasing muscle mass is a good argument for helping reduce fat, since the more muscle you have the more fat you will burn at rest. Burning fat at rest is the safest way to get rid of stored fat, since it produces less oxidative damage.👉Thyroid FunctionFor proper metabolism, glucose is needed by the liver to convert thyroxin (T4) to the active triiodothyronine (T3). T3 is needed by all the cells to produce ATP (energy). Without adequate T3 you will have decreased cellular function (slower metabolism). *People on low-carbohydrate diets are notorious for having low body temperature and decreased cellular function. This is attributed to the low intake of carbs (sugars), which will contribute to lower T3 conversion and lower metabolic function.👉Liver DetoxFinally, the liver needs glucose to help with proper detoxification. Low levels of stored glucose (glycogen) will encourage a sluggish liver. This is why fasting and detox programs that restrict carbs (fruits, juices, milk) make NO sense. These programs may help clean out your colon, but they hinder the performance of your liver. The liver is your main detox organ. If you hinder the liver’s performance, how can it detox properly?Do. Not. Be. Afraid. Of. Carbs. ... See MoreSee Less

Carbohydrates/Sugars-🍎🍐🍊🍌🍉🍇🍑🥭🍒🥔🥕🌶🍍🍠🥛🍯🥝🍆🍓🍅🧉-What you need to know.-1️⃣. Carbohydrates are your primary source of energy. Consuming the right carbohydrates is needed for a high metabolic rate, increased CO2 levels, decreased oxidative damage, good brain function, muscle energy and recovery, and detoxing the liver.-2️⃣. Simple sugars like fructose, glucose, sucrose, and lactose are your best sources. These include: fruits, honey, milk, white sugar, fruit juices, and root vegetables.-3️⃣. Carbohydrates should never be eaten alone. Always combine carbohydrates with a fat and protein (e.g., fruit and cheese, eggs and OJ, and milk and honey).-4️⃣. Low-carb dieting, although effective for quick loss, long term will lead to fatigue, sugar cravings, sleep issues, hormone issues, muscle wasting, and weight gain.-5️⃣. When adding sugars back into your diet, start slowly. Even the right sugars, added in too quickly, will lead to weight gain, bloating, and hormonal issues.-Keep it simple people.-For more information on the foods you can use to heal:Check out my book, "How to Heal Your Metabolism"Here:www.amazon.com/How-Heal-Your-Metabolism-Happiness/dp/1511585625/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=katedeeri...Audio Here:www.audible.com/pd/B0899JF5RN/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-198204&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_1... ...
