So, this week we've been talking about the hormones called "Insulin" and "Glucagon" . . . And how they affect our "weight loss" and "weight management" issues . . . But . . . what about the hormone called "Amylin"??? Have you ever heard of this one before??? Well . . . this little hormone is actually one of the most important hormones for our "weight loss" journey . . . So, why doesn't the "weight loss industry" talk about it??? Could it be . . . they don't want us to really

So, yesterday . . . we spoke about the function that the hormone called . . . "Insulin" has on our "weight loss" issues . . . Well, today . . . let's talk about the other hormone the "pancreas" produces called . . . "Glucagon" . . . What does "it" do for the body and our "weight management"??? Well . . . "Glucagon" is a peptide hormone produced by the "alpha cells" in the pancreas . . . And this hormone "raises" blood "glucose" levels when they drop to LOW . . . It acts as a.

So, today . . . let's better understand the part that the hormone "Insulin" plays in our "weight loss efforts" . . . and better health!!! Now . . . "Insulin" is primarily a "fat-storage" hormone . . . Meaning . . . HIGH levels of "Insulin" . . . promote "fat accumulation" . . . and "inhibits" fat burning . . . Which as we know . . . makes "weight loss" very DIFFUCULT to accomplish!!! You see . . . when "Insulin" levels are elevated . . . the body "stores" energy . . . rather

Good morning my friends . . . So, as we know . . . "SPRING" is only 12 days away!!!! And the "crunch" is on . . . to lose the weight . . . for our favorite "shorts" and "bikinis" Now . . . for the past month . . . we've been talking about our "weight loss issues" . . . and weight management . . . We spoke about the new fad "diet pills" and "injections" . . . and how detrimental they are to ones health . . . And "why diets don't work"!!! We then spoke about the 3 hormones that

So, we now know . . . the "hunger" hormone called "Ghrelin" . . . "Rises" with a "pre-meal" surge . . . BEFORE we eat . . . to "initiate" hunger . . . It then . . . "drops" with a "post-meal" decrease . . . AFTER we've finished eating . . . This is the "normal" function of this hormone for optimal weight and health. And "its" mission is accomplished when we "eat" lean "PROTEINS" and "COMPLIANT" carbohydrates . . . BUT . . . "IF" . . . you end your meal with something SWEET .

So, as we now know . . . the hormone called "Ghrelin" . . . is produced in the stomach . . . and signals the brain that it's TIME to EAT!!! This is our "HUNGER" hormone . . . that makes sure we never "starve"!!! So, how do we "reset" this hormone you ask??? Well . . . we can "stabilize" it by . . . "prioritizing sleep" . . . You see . . . "poor" sleep or getting LESS than 7 - 8 hours . . . "increases" Ghrelin levels . . . leading to HIGHER HUNGER during the next day. Another

So, yesterday . . . we ended with . . . how do we "reset" our hormone called . . . "Leptin"??? Well . . . the easiest way would be to . . . Eat an "Anti-inflammatory Diet" . . . And this is due to it . . . "reducing" carbohydrates and Omega 6 fatty acids!!! But . . . to go one step BETTER . . . "MY" . . . "Compliant Anti-inflammatory Diet" . . . Why you ask??? Well . . . this is due to my Anti-inflammatory diet . . . ONLY has "COMPLIANT" carbohydrates in it and is "high in

So, yesterday . . . we discovered that the "Leptin" hormone . . . has a lot to do with our overall health and weight loss journey . . . Well, today . . . let's continue . . . because there's a lot more to learn about this wonderful little hormone . . . We now know . . . that "Leptin" release . . . is triggered by an "increase" in BODY FAT . . . Which in turn . . . signals energy abundance . . . But . . . "Leptin" release . . . can also be triggered by "nutrient intake" .

Good morning my friends . . . How was your weekend??? So, we just spent last week talking about how drinking "coffee" in the morning . . . or . . . having that sweet little chocolate "caffeine" "fix" in the am . . . NOT ONLY . . . messes up our Cortisol hormone . . . It also "disrupts" our . . . "Leptin" and "Ghrelin" hormone for the rest of the day . . . So, how's all that working for ya??? Well . . . today, lets' break it down to better understand . . . Just what part the "

So, what is the "involuntary" part of our Cortisol hormone . . . and how does it affect our actions and "anger issues"??? Well . . . on a normal day . . . with "normal" levels of Cortisol . . . "after" the morning depletion of this hormone . . . at about 9ish . . . Stress . . . and/or . . . a dangerous situation . . . activates this hormone AGAIN . . . for a "fight" . . . "flight" . . . or "freeze" response to that situation. But, as soon as the "situation" is over . . . or C

So yesterday . . . we spoke about how the caffeine from our coffee . . . or for that matter . . . ANY caffeine . . . that includes the morning "chocolate" lovers also . . . "Raises" our level of the hormone called Cortisol . . . when it's naturally supposed to be "decreasing" in levels at that time of day. This NOW . . . puts us in a state of "overeating" and "emotional distress" all day long. Why you ask??? Well . . . when Cortisol is elevated above its normal level for tha

So, yesterday . . . we discovered that the hormone called Cortisol . . . is in "control" of our "sleep-wake rhythm" . . . And that it starts its job and process at about 3:00 in the morning . . . peaking at about 6:00a m and "decreasing" to finish its job about 9:00 am. Giving us an energized, happy, healthy morning and day!!! And "IF" this hormone is functioning "properly" . . . These are the people that "wake up" ready for the day and hit the floor running!!! BUT . . . "IF"

So . . . do you have the answer to that question??? Well . . . you probably guessed wrong . . . because it's more complex than just one food and/or beverage. So, let's start at the beginning . . . to better understand . . . Do you ever "wake" in the morning about 3:00 am??? Well . . . you're NOT ALONE my friends!!! Because studies show about 68% of all Americans . . . wake around that time . . . and CAN'T go back to sleep . . . So . . . why is that. . . and what does that hav

Good morning my friends . . . I hope to find you well . . . And I hope my "local" people are all safe from this major snowstorm . . . So, last week . . . we spoke about how the foods we "choose" to consume from this western diet . . . CAN MAKE . . . OR . . . BREAK US . . . And how most of that food in today's world . . . due to the overprocessing and added chemicals . . . is causing "addictive behavior" . . . Which is now being categorized as . . .

So, yesterday . . . we discovered that . . . "what we eat" . . . can cause "addictive behavior" on ALL LEVELS!!! And that . . . "food addictions" . . . are increasingly recognized as "behavioral addictions" with strong links to "mental health issues" in today's world!!! And this is driven by "highly palatable foods" . . . that TRIGGER "feel-good" chemicals in the brain . . . Which lead to . . . Compulsive behavior Withdrawal symptoms Depression And anxiety You see . . . the

So, yesterday . . . we spoke about . . . the 2 kinds of eating "habits" we a Americans seem to fall into . . . in today's world!!! So, Why are WE, what WE eat??? Well . . . the "food" that we consume . . . directly "builds" and "fuels" our body . . . This affecting our physical health . . . cell structure . . . energy . . . mood . . . and gut health!!! You see . . . "what" we eat . . . shapes our "gut microbiome" (the ratio of good to bad bacteria in the large intestine) . .

So, have you ever heard the saying . . . "We Are, What We Eat" . . . my friends??? Well . . . it's "true" . . . And in life . . . we become 1 of 2 kinds of people . . . The ones that . . . "Eat to survive" . . . Or the ones that . . . "Survive to eat" . . . WHICH ONE ARE YOU??? Well, let's break it down to better understand that theory . . . You see . . . the people that . . .
