What is Insulin Resistance?

A disorder in which insulin fails to produce the same pglucose lowering effect seen in those with a normal metabolism.

The pancreas work overtime in effort to lower blood glucose levels, producing large quantities of insulin (hyperinsulinemia) (hyperinsulinemia)

~25% individuals with hyperinsulinemia will eventually become Type 2 diabetics unless this eventually become Type 2 diabetics unless this process is corrected.

Let’s see how that happens…..

What causes Insulin Resistance?

Refined, simple carbohydrates, and sugary foods as well as ifi i l ALL i h artificial sweeteners ALL trigger the pancreas to

release large quantities of insulin into the bloodstream. Preservatives, pesticides, trans-fats, toxins and super , p , , p

sugars like high fructose corn syrup all contribute to insulin resistance.

Caffeine decreases cellular sensitivity to insulin and should Caffeine decreases cellular sensitivity to insulin and should be avoided. (Caffeine causes eventual weight gain!)

Repeated and frequent spiking of insulin levels causes the cells to become resistant to insulin and reduces the number cells to become resistant to insulin and reduces the number of insulin receptor sites on the cell’s surface.

This directly affects the body’s ability to use glucose.

Excess Insulin is Toxic!

Causes cravings for simple carbohydrates Damages the vascular system Harms the kidneys, eyes, nerves, etc Promotes high blood pressure by impairing sodium balancePromotes high blood pressure by impairing sodium balance Increases the risk and progression of certain types of cancer Contributes to benign prostate enlargement, polycystic

Prevents fat from leaving fat cells making it difficult to lose i h i h d d l i i k d iweight, even with reduced caloric intake and exercise

Contributes to weight gain, increases appetite and can cause hypoglycemia

Only a handful of chemicals have ever been banned in the USA More often the FDA/EPA will issue an “advisory” rather than a / y

ban. Example: Antibacterial hand soap (triclosan) – persists in the environment, proven to cause health problems in animals and humans and fails to deliver on it’s intended purpose (kill p pgerms)

EPA often works with companies to phase out use of certain chemicals (like triclosan and flame retardants) in the US but ( )many poorer countries continue to use the chemicals

Women with insulin resistance frequently have elevated levels of testosterone.

Correcting hormonal imbalance can help to regulate cholesterol levels, blood pressure, insulin levels, normalize blood sugar levels reduce depression and decrease abdominal fatlevels, reduce depression and decrease abdominal fat.

Fat cells synthesize the aromatase enzyme which converts male hormones into estrogen.

Excess amounts of estrogen causes weight gain in both men and women.

Balancing hormones is a very delicate process, work with your g y p , yhealth care professional to restore a healthy balance.

The Key is to Balance all the Hormones

Managing Inflammation Due to Toxicity

Alkalize the Body

Normal pH is 7.0 to 7.5 (blood pH 7.35) The body pulls minerals from the bones to

neutralize excess acids.i i h lk li i f h b d Use pH strips to monitor the alkalinity of the body.

Balanced pH Balanced pH optimizes kidney, liver, pancreatic and liver, pancreatic and immune function.Also, greatly enhances intestinal elimination.

fats (~67 grams). This should be in a ration of 1:2:1 of saturated to monounsaturated to polyunsaturated fat.

Reduce intake of saturated fats by decreasing butter, cream, high-fat cheese, un skinned chicken and fatty meats and any products made with palm un-skinned chicken and fatty meats, and any products made with palm kernel oil.

Use extra virgin olive oil mixed with avocado or expeller pressed grapeseed oil as the main cooking oil. Coconut, pumpkin seed, and sesame seed oils are also very anti inflammatory but have distinctive flavors that must be also very anti-inflammatory but have distinctive flavors that must be considered by the chef. Or use expeller-pressed rice bran oil.

Avoid products made with partially hydrogenated oils of any kind, margarine, vegetable shortening and all products listing anything hydrogenated as an ingredienthydrogenated as an ingredient.

Include avocados, walnuts, cashews, almonds and their nut butters. Wild caught salmon- excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids. Also consider,

sardines, herring or black cod; omega 3 fortified eggs; hemp and flax seeds. Include a distilled fish oil supplement!

No More Vegetable Oil!

Most polyunsaturated vegetable oils like safflower, sunflower, corn, peanut and soy, are high in linoleic acid, an omega-6 essential fatty acid Th b d t th f t i t hid i id (AA) The body converts these fats into arachidonic acid (AA), another omega-6 fatty acid that has a pro-inflammatory influence. These vegetable oils contain almost no omega-g g3s (rich supply in cold water fish, phytoplankton, flaxseed and chia seeds) which soothe inflammation. O hi t i t t di t ith 6 t Our prehistoric ancestors ate a diet with an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of 1:1. Our current ratio is anywhere between 10:1 and 25:1!5

Anti-Inflammatory Diet - Protein

In a 2000 calorie per day diet, protein intake should be around 80-120 grams per day

Decrease consumption of mass produced animal protein. All poultry and farmed fish are suspect (even organic) because poultry and farmed fish are suspect (even organic) because they are usually raised on corn (pro-inflammatory)

When conditions are favorable for growth, the endospores When conditions are favorable for growth, the endospores germinate into vegetative cells which can rapidly multiply.

B. coagulans exists as single organisms or in short chains, and forms coloniesforms colonies

Bacillus coagulans

Is motile; can move independently because it has a whip-like propelling feature propelling feature.

Grows very well in aerobic conditions, but can function in a low-oxygen environment, too. - See more at: http://www.powerofprobiotics.com/Bacillus-

Some people use Bacillus coagulans to prevent respiratory infections as ll th i t well as ramp up the immune system.

It is also used to prevent cancer or the formation of cancer-causing agents.

There is also some interest in using it as an additive to vaccines to There is also some interest in using it as an additive to vaccines to improve their effectiveness.

RESEARCH UPDATE: HUMAN STUDIES SUPPORT THE USE OF BACILLUS COAGULANS

Emerging research suggests a variety of promising roles for Bacillus coagulans in supporting Emerging research suggests a variety of promising roles for Bacillus coagulans in supporting human health.

•Irritable Bowel Syndrome. In an eight-week trial,subjects with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) taking a probiotic preparation containing Bacillus coagulans had significant improvement in (IBS) taking a probiotic preparation containing Bacillus coagulans had significant improvement in abdominal pain and bloating, whereas patients taking placebo did not experience notable improvement.31•Crohn’s Disease. Subjects with Crohn’s diseas taking a probiotic preparation containing Bacillus coagulans had a greater decrease in total Crohn’s Disease Activity Index (CDAI a scale Bacillus coagulans had a greater decrease in total Crohn s Disease Activity Index (CDAI, a scale evaluating disease activity) and a greater drop in the number of liquid-like stools at 30 and 60 days, compared with individuals taking placebo. Impressively, four out of five subjects in the probiotic group were able to stop taking anti-diarrheal medications, compared with only one out of six patients in the placebo group 32six patients in the placebo group.32•Immunity and Influenza. A 30-day clinical trial in healthy adults demonstrated that supplementation with Bacillus coagulans produced a significant increase in immune response to both adenovirus and influenza A, compared with baseline values.33•Arthritis Two 60-day arthritis trials one for osteoarthritis and one for rheumatoid arthritis •Arthritis. Two 60-day arthritis trials, one for osteoarthritis and one for rheumatoid arthritis, showed decreased inflammation (as measured by reduced C-reactive protein), less pain, less stiffness, and improved mobility in Bacillus coagulans-supplemented patients compared with placebo subjects.34,35

Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia voubilis)(Plukenetia voubilis)-Cultivated by local communities in Peru for many centuries; an important food source many centuries; an important food source dating right back to the time of the Inca tribes. -Seed pods are harvested, sun-dried & de-husked year round by localshusked year round by locals.-Excellent source of magnesium and phosphorousTh d ld d i d t -These seeds are cold pressed in order to

collect the omega 3-6-9 rich seed oil and to produce a high protein meal.

often found in other veg proteins (ie, organic rice and org soy)

Sacha Inchi Protein

We require a full compliment of EAAs (e.g., lycine is usually missing in grain but is present in legumes- this is why rice protein is combined with g p g y ppea protein to achieve the correct complement of EAAs).

Contains many non-essential aa’s- glutamine is found in the highest conc-133 mg/g (Glutamine causes global healing, esp within intestines!)

The fact that Sacha Inchi protein still has such a good content of healthy fat improves the bioavailability of the protein making it more digestible than most other protein sources.

The bioavailability of proteins is measured on a scale called the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) with 1.0 being the highest score- Sacha Inchi scores 0.9 on this scale, coming well above pea (0.73) and rice (0.47). Shaklee soy has a score of 1.0!!!

What About Soy Protein?

The most commonly used plant protein. y p p It’s come under intense fire recently due to the issue

with GMO’s and different processing techniques. Soy is the most “complete” plant protein known and

most digestible plant protein available Long track record of unique health benefits: Long track record of unique health benefits: lowers cholesterol delays menopause lowers blood pressure decreases pain while stimulating healing

For most, health concerns over soy are a red herring!
