MY STORY

YOU ARE FAT BECAUSE YOU EAT TOO MUCH, RIGHT?

Why ARE YOU FAT?

• Food delayed sensitivity allergies• Metabolic Syndrome (insulin =fat storage)• Vitamin Deficiencies• Viruses like EBV, HHV6 - Herpes and CMV• Stress, emotional and/or physical (the cortisol connection)• Food Addiction (salt, sugars, fats) via dopamine reward

pathway. Using displacement theory in Food Addiction support groups

Hormones!

Foundational Hormone Axis

You Are In The Bermuda Triangle of Fat !

Hypothyroidism and FAT• Central nervous system:

– Fatigue!– Drowsiness– Poor memory and concentration

• Decreased metabolism:– Body weight increases– Heat production goes down– Basal metabolic rate goes down

• Gut: decreased activity; constipation

• Cardiovascular – decreased cardiac output; blood pressure falls

THYROID – COMMON SYPMTOMS

• Weight gain, difficulty losing weight, loss of energy, feeling “sluggish”

• Depressed mood, usually not as severe as major depression but may play a part

• Low body temperature• PMS• Premature menopause• Losing hair ( alopecia)• Chronic constipation• Decreased memory and brain “fog”• Sleep issues ( too much or too little but not rested)

ADRENALS

Common Symptoms of Adrenal Dysfunction Weight gain, especially in waist hips and thighs ( cortisol

response) Crave sugar/starch and sometimes salt Fatigue Low blood pressure which may becomes elevated in middle

age Allergies Exercise does not promote weight loss . . . And may even

gain! Low blood sugar usually after lunch Muscle loss and flab even with exercise Wakes up every few hours at night Is more hungry during the day if eats breakfast Low or no libido!

FEMALE SEX STEROIDSHormones make you fat!!! Don’t they?

Improves insulin sensitivity ( less cortisol, less fat storage)

Improves muscle mass, strength, and metabolism Better muscle mass = increased metabolic rate, and you burn

more calories Increased serotonin function which decreases cravings and

desires for comfort foods Inhibits MAO enzyme activity, which prolongs activity of

serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine and helps to decrease appetite

Restores normal sleep stages, which lowers cortisol, increases GH (growth hormone), and improves nighttime muscle repair

More?

Some Symptoms Of Estradiol Imbalances

Weight gain Insomnia Hot flushes or flashes Night sweats Memory, communication, and attention span loss, brain “fog”,

depression, and/or anxiety to panic attacks Mood swings Aches and pain Incontinence Digestive disturbances Sensory function loss Ageing skin . . . thinning, wrinkles, sagging

A Word About Progesterone . . . Increases energy and libido Has a calming effect, acting like a benzodiazepine

to the brain Enhances mood Regulates fluid balance, sodium mineral balance Balances blood sugar Necessary for fertility Increases energy and libido Helps relieve menopausal symptoms Decreases risk of endometrial cancer and may help

protect against breast cancer, fibrocystic breasts, and osteoporosis

Correct Labs: A begining to Balance

Adrenal/Hyperinsulinism 3hr GTT with concomitant insulin blood

draws fasting draw for glucose, insulin and cortisol

1hr draw for glucose and insulin 2hr draw for glucose and insulin 3hr draw for glucose, insulin and cortisol

The key labs to condi

Thyroid Free T3, Free T4, TSH, RT3 TPO Thyroid Antibodies, Antithyroglobulin

Antibodies

SEX HORMONES Estradiol, Progesterone. Free Testosterone,

DHEA-S ( if cycling note the day in your cycle)

QUESTIONS?

Cady Wellness Institute – July 2005The Reasons:

• Conventional medical practice had failed me twice.• A lot of “psychiatric cases” WEREN’T “psychiatric.”• Nobody was integrated.• Nobody was looking at ALL of the peer-reviewed

literature.

• Conversion of T4 to T3 is selenium dependent

The Law of Conservation of Energy

“Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can change forms.”

Cady’s corollary:“You can’t lose weight if you’re eating more than you can burn.”

Wired Magazine – Nov. 2008: Change in food consumption

1969-1971

2001-2003

3,040 calories increased to 3,760 calories per day

Current stats on obesity National Center for Health Statistics

The Doc Cady “Candy Bar a Day” Weight Loss Program

• 1 lb. of fat = 3,500 kcal (“calories”)• 3,500 / 7 = 500 calories per day

– You need to not eat’em, or burn’em• Starving yourself slows your metabolism down, and you

lose muscle mass– Therefore: reduce 250 calories; burn 250 calories

• 250 calories = no candy bar, or “NO” to 1 & ½ Cokes

• 250 calories = ½ - ¾ hour on treadmill• NET = 500 calories per day, or 1 lb. lost per

week

Glycemic index

• A measure of how fast a carbohydrate triggers a rise in circulating blood sugar.

• The higher the number, the greater the blood sugar response.

Doc Cady “Candy Bar a Day” program FLAWS:

• Not all calories from food do the same thing to your body:– Removing 250 cal of sweet potatoes is not

the same as removing 250 calories from candy bars

• This program only focuses on WEIGHT LOSS, and not OPTIMUM HEALTH

How to avoid “DIE – with a T”

• Reduce glycemic load!• Eat ‘til your belly is reasonably full (just eat

the right stuff!)

• Downstream effects:– Lack of hunger– Lack of feeling of deprivation

Adjusting your hormonal carburetor

• If “hungry and loopy” – Decrease carbohydrates

• If “hungry but GOOD MENTAL FOCUS”• Increase low glycemic carbs

• No hunger for 4 – 6 hours– You are in the zone!

Back to the Future: 21st Century

medicine

• Diet can and should be the “primary drug.”

• We can correlate the dietary causes and effects

• Return to Hippocrates:“Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food.”

Success and Failure (Jim Rohn) What about you? You’ve only got one body.

• “Errors in judgement” - High glycemic eating, no exercise, poor nutrition, lousy or no supplementation, high stress lifestyle.

- “Good disciplines” – appropriate diet, supplementation, exercise, hormones. Stress management. Decent lifestyle.
