Does your life feel like a song played badly out of tune?

 

If so, the problem may have to do with imbalances in your hormones, which are wreaking havoc on your body and mind.

FOUR EPIDEMICS OF HORMONAL PROBLEMS

Does your mood and energy swing up and down, making your life crazy?

Do you crave sugar or salt? Are you overweight and putting on more and more

belly fat? If you are a woman, do you have premenstrual

syndrome, painful or heavy periods, or a low sex drive?

Are you depressed? Do you sleep poorly? Do you feel tired but wired? Do you need coffee to wake up in the morning and

a few glasses of wine to calm down at night?

SELF TEST ????

Fatigue Brain fogginess and inability to focus High blood sugar Intestinal bloating Sleepiness, especially after meals Weight gain, difficulty losing It is currently suspected that hormones

produced in the abdominal fat are a precipitating cause of insulin resistance

YOU…INSULIN RESISTANT?

Increased blood triglyceride levels Increased blood pressure. Many people with

hypertension are either diabetic or pre-diabetic and have elevated insulin levels due to insulin resistance. One of insulin's effects is to control arterial wall tension throughout the body

Increased pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with cardiovascular disease

Depression Increased hunger

YOU…INSULIN RESISTANT?

INSULIN RESISTANCE 80 – 100 Million Americans!!

Too Much Sugar, White Flour & Rice!!!

When you eat too much sugar, flour, and white rice, your insulin levels spike.

  When this happens, your cells become

resistant to its effects

So you pump out more and more insulin, become even MORE resistant to its effects, and end up in the vicious cycle of insulin resistance.

INSULIN RESISTANCE

Not a genetic defect  As hunters/gatherers, we ate the equivalent of only 20 teaspoons

of sugar a year

200 years ago, Consuming about 10 pounds of sugar per person per◦ 5,000% increase over our evolutionary ancestors!

  Now we eat 150 pounds per person per year

◦ 1/2 pound each day -- that’s the equivalent of drinking 6 cans of Coke or eating 8 Snickers bars per day.

  What’s worst, the average child consumes 34 teaspoons of sugar a

day!  That means that we are now eating 75,000% more sugar today

than our ancestors did. 

INSULIN RESISTANCE

Insulin stimulates the growth of cancer cells Insulin leads to mood and behavior

disturbances such as depression, panic attacks, anxiety, insomnia and ADHD

Insulin makes your blood sticky and more likely to clot, leading to heart attacks and strokes

Insulin causes sex-hormone problems and can lead to infertility, facial hair growth, acne and scalp hair loss in women; in men, it can cause low testosterone, breast growth and more

INSULIN

Increases LDL (“bad”) cholesterol Lowers HDL (“good”) cholesterol Raises triglycerides Increases blood pressure Causes 50 percent

of all HTN

INSULIN

Achieve Optimal Blood Sugar Balance

Eating flour and sugar products Eating high-fructose corn syrup Drinking liquid calories in juice and soda Consuming all processed, junk, or packaged

foods Eating trans or hydrogenated fats

STOP

Slow sugar uptake in gut: Healthy protein

◦ Nuts, seeds, beansSmall wild fishOrganic chicken

Healthy carbs (vegetables, fruit, beans, whole grains)

Healthy fats (olive oil, nuts and seeds, avocadoes, fish oil)

Eat plenty of soluble fiber (30 to 50 grams a day)

Eat smaller, more frequent meals

Move your body◦ Exercise improves cells’

ability Work better Respond to insulin better Burn sugar faster

Make your cells smarter◦ Give them oil change with

omega-3’s◦ Fix cell membranes◦ Can readily receive the

messages from insulin Relax!

◦ Stress reduction also helps improve blood sugar control

Make your cells more efficient:◦ chromium◦ Vanadium◦ Magnesium◦ Vitamin E◦ Biotin◦ B vitamins◦ Zinc◦ Bioflavonoids◦ Alpha lipoic acid◦ Arginine◦ Carnitine
