Objectives we will try our best to meet
• Understand how to identify insulin resistance/metabolic syndrome & detect it earlier than metabolic syndrome
• Better understanding your patient’s lifestyle contributors (environment/emotional choices) and the need for realistic expectations in terms of our capabilities & goals vs our patients readiness and ability for change
AND MAYBE
• Review macronutrient basics re: protein, carbohydrate, fats
• Understand appropriate role of medical foods and when to refer to comprehensive medical metabolic/behavior mod programs
• Understand the potential use of metformin in pre-diabetes and insulin resistance/weight management
“But What Precisely is Obesity ?”
Most commonly used definition is “BMI ”
Body Mass Index > 30 (wt/in2 x 703)
• But BMI assesses only height & weight, so not optimal
• BMI’s ease for population studies, not accuracy in detecting metabolic risks, made it popular for use in individuals
• DEXA Scan is largely considered the Medical Gold Standard for a potential practical, yet detailed assessment of metabolic risk of body composition. Body fat >20% in men and >30% in women is better definition of “obesity”
• In mine & many other expert clinician’s opinions including the IDF, Abdominal Circumference is the most practical, simple & reproducible technique in a busy practice

What is “Insulin Resistance”
PRACTICALLY speaking?
• A physiological state, inducible to some degree or
another in most humans, resulting in higher insulin
requirements to maintain glucose levels and
resulting largely from extensive time periods of
an imbalance between movement (low) & calorie
intake (high)….. DM2 reflects insulin resistance
PLUS beta-cell burnout…
• May begin with epigenetic contributions during
pregnancy (smoking, GDM, macrosomia, premature
or low birth weight) and gut microbes contribution but
these don’t change fact that TLC is a key therapy
9/24/2013

What is “Insulin Resistance”
PRACTICALLY speaking?
• First, chronologically (after epigenetic factors & gut microbes) you’ll see
too many kids establishing little healthy cooking or healthy
food prep skills while
• Eating minimal fruit & veggies, beans/lentils, lean/low salt proteins
• ..relative to lots of: high calorie (and high salt added)
calorie dense grains, frequently with several forms of sugars added
like HFCS, clarified concentrated juices, honey (regular & sweet
breads/pastries, pizza crusts, bagels, dry cereals, etc) for “carbs”, with
lots of sugary & fatty drinks complimented with high fat dairy, cured
and/or fatty meats, fried potatoes/chips…
• Blended with a lot of sitting/lying around = Cardiometabolic
Syndrome…Let the atheromas and inflammation begin!
URGENT: “Adult” Diseases in Kids – “In U.S….type 2 diabetes accounts for up
to 46% of all new cases of diabetes referred to pediatric centers. The
magnitude of type 2 diabetes is probably underestimated ” CDC
As of 2010, over 30% of the pediatric population in US are now obese or overweight..& likely many of the “normals” suffering poor body
composition
What is “Insulin Resistance”
PRACTICALLY speaking?
• Abdominal Circumference >37 in a man >32 in a woman
• Plus ANY of the following:
• - triglycerides >200 non fasting
• - sedentary lifestyle
• - personal or FH of any of the metabolic syndrome components
• - Personal history of GDM or eclampsia features
What is “Insulin Resistance”
ACADEMICALLY speaking?
• Prior to Metabolic Syndrome you may see < 2 of 5 plus other related metabolic lab findings:
• Non-Hemochromatosis related Hyperferritinemia – Diabetes Care Vol 28; #8 2005
• Hyperuricemia
• Elevated ALT/fatty liver, higher than optimal fasting insulin – e.g., >7)
• Elevated (IMO above 50th percentile) NMR derived “INSULIN RESISTANCE SCORE” (www.TheParticleTest.com)
• Prior to “pre-diabetes” most have “Metabolic Syndrome” (i.e.,> 3 of 5 International Diabetes Federation criteria - see next slide)
Metabolic Syndrome by IDF standards REQUIRES:
Meeting Abdominal Circumference Criteria
>37 inches in Caucasians, Arab and African American men
For Asian (also consider Latinos, American Indians & other high risk groups, including +FH) male threshold drops to
>35”
and
>31.5 in ALL women
Metabolic Syndrome as defined by
International Diabetes Federation
9/24/2013

AND at least 2 of the following 4
• Fasting TG level: > 150 mg/dL or specific treatment for this
• HDL cholesterol: < 40 mg/dL in men, < 50 mg/dL in women
or specific treatment for this (Niacin, Fibrate, some statins)
• Resting BP >130/85 mm Hg, or being treated for BP/HTN
• Fasting plasma glucose > 100 mg/dL on more than one occasion or treatment for this (OGTT is strongly recommended but
is not needed to define presence of the syndrome)
IMO: Imperfect, but consider 2009 ADA defined A1c range 5.7-6.4% as better, overall, diagnostic for pre-DM2

“So you “see” insulin
<-- resistance….now what?
Lifestyle change/Behavior modification
is THE gold standard….BUT HARD!
And you know that genetics are certainly a contributor…
…but you KNOW human genes are the virtually the same
now as 10,000 years ago!…
So genetics are a minor issue (especially for diseases
encountered after age of 50) on a population scale,
though EPIGENETIC modifications (e.g., smoking during
pregnancy and macrosomic babies) and GUT MICROBIA
(too many anti-biotics & C-Sections?) are SCARY…yet
still it’s really more about…..
• The most sedentary society in history
– 80-90% of average Americans’ daytime is spent sitting!
– All RISE please (my anti-guilt Rx!)
– Why? Because it’s TOO easy!
Lifestyle Goal: 10,000 steps most days with “3K within 30 min” (get a pedometer)
– Sit < 3 hours per day most days (get a standing desk or a “GET OFF DUFF” alarm
USA 2013: The Perfect Storm for Calorie
Excess Based Diseases
USA 2013: The Perfect Storm for Calorie
Excess Based Diseases
• The most “comfort/junk food toxic” environment in history
– Hyper-palatable “foods” with ADDICTIVE PROPERTIES (high sugar/starch plus salt plus saturated fat = COCAINE EQUIVALENT) that are WAY too convenient
– Irrational “finish your plate” attitude has led to huge portion expectations along with OVER-using food as cultural focus
– EMOTIONAL/STRESS RELATED EATING IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT FACTORS TO MANAGE (consider CBT or ShrinkYourself.com)
• Excessive Thin, sugar/fat/alcohol based liquid calories: non-satiating (not “sensed” by brain/body)
• Excessive Calorie Dense/Refined Carbs: Grains, most refined & baked/dry grain (flour, rice, corn, oats like: breads/bagels, pies, donuts, cookies, pastries, dry cereals, chips, popcorn, pizza dough, tortillas, wraps, granola bars, muffins), are biggest source of increase in solid food calorie intake since 1980 AND many are mixed with:
• Excessive non-essential fats: Oils, non-skim dairy, cheeses/butter, margarines, feed-lot fed fatty animal meats
Where are the excess - age inducing/free radical
promoting - calories mostly coming from?
9/24/2013

Complementing the “excesses” from
previous slide are:
– SITTING/SEDENTARY TIME INCREASING
– MEAL SKIPPING AND ERRATIC DAYTIME EATING
LEADING TO OVERCOMPENSATION AT NIGHT
– POOR INTAKE OF WHOLE FRUIT n VEGETABLES
– POOR DISTRIBUTION THROUGHOUT THE DAY OF
QUALITY PROTEIN SOURCES (esp in the AM)
All together leading to: muscle/bone loss with fat gain in
liver/viscera and marbled/weaker muscle

HELP PATIENTS RETIRE GUILT:
“WILLPOWER SUCKS” FOR REASONS!
• Human tendency to gain fat is protective against the
frequent lack of calories of most of human history
(“Obesity Paradox” reveals that obese may actually
be made of “tougher stuff” - OPPORTUNITY TO
CAREFULLYEMPOWER THE PATIENT WITH
FACTUAL SCIENCE)
• Tendency towards obesity is a “good thing gone awry”
due to our mismatch of genes to modern environment
Establishing “LIFESTYLE THOUGHT”,
extinguishing “DIET THOUGHT”
Establishing “LIFESTYLE THOUGHT”,
extinguishing “DIET THOUGHT”
• Leningrad World War 2 observation – The food deprivation of the Nazi onslaught seemed to cause more deaths than their bombing…and more body fat victims had at the beginning of siege the lower their risk of death.
• UPSHOT: Wisdom that environmental management beats expecting “willpower” to work as a tool for real lifestyle change! MUST try to make it MINDLESS to eat healthier at home, work, or wherever some control is possible to win the battle against our internal tendencies to overindulge!
The Basics in achieving “Optimal” Nutrition:
Be a Motivational Interviewer
• Accept that even basics can be difficult to
achieve since the US food environment is
currently, overall, VERY poor at supporting healthy
choices and SO MUCH EATING IS EMOTIONAL!
• Consider “Eating The Moment” (Somov), “Shrink
Yourself” (Gould) and best of all, a Cognitive
Behavioral Therapist & Psychiatry if necessary, to
help co-manage their emotional eating triggers &
work on alternative stress management skills.
Stages of Behavior Change
( * = highest yield candidates for intervention)
• Precontemplation (Uninterested - provide requisite info
regarding risks to their health & ask permission to address at
follow up, offer “open door” to come back sooner)
• * Contemplation (Is considering change - explore why they’re
interested in lifestyle change)
• * Preparation (Already preparing to make lifestyle change -
may offer guidance here but also keep re-assessing
motivations for change to “prepare” them for their “journey”)
• * Action (Actively modified, but just started process change of,
lifestyle - not yet habit. NEEDS COACHING,
REINFORCEMENT & monitoring)
• Maintenance - still need long term, though lower intensity,
monitoring for relapse NON JUDGEMENTAL
“Stages of Change” (Pre-Contemplative,
Contemplative, Preparation or ACTION?)
• BE PERSISTENT but PATIENT and MOTIVATIONAL PARTNER/COACH. Inform patient risks of poor lifestyle choices & help reconcile their understanding with facts…. but also ENGAGE them in respectful conversation
• What makes it most difficult for you?
• What motivates them to be healthier?
• What do they actually LIKE or have a history of doing regarding physical activity?
• What/Who sabotages their efforts? Go with THEIR flow, “contract” with them, follow up frequently if needed (note USPSTF rec. on visit frequency for obesity mgt)!
The Basics in achieving “Optimal” Nutrition:
Be a Motivational Interviewer
• Simply giving advice alone is not effective
• Clarifying patients strengths & motivations - help
them feel THEY are designing their “journey”
• GUIDE more than ADVISE/DEMAND.
• ASK what THEY feel about what holds them back
and LISTEN CLOSELY before speaking (you’ll
learn AND build TRUST)
• Help them with turning a “slip” into a moment to
S.L.I.P. (see next slide)
9/24/2013

S.L.I.P. - A CRITICAL TOOL FOR THOSE IN
RECEPTIVE STAGE OF CHANGE:
• S top behavior & realize you’re human!
• L ook at the situation realistically
• I nvestigate where the trigger was
• P lan accordingly for a future similar situation
in which the new plan can be put into action
• In TLC: PROGRESS = PERFECTION !
• Do NOT let “perfect” be the enemy of
PROGRESS!
The Basics in achieving “Optimal” Nutrition:
Be a Motivational Interviewer
• STEP 1 – TEMPTATION CONTROL: MUST emphasize home environment be a “HEALTHY FOOD ONLY ZONE” as much as reasonably possible
• While indulgences are OK on occasion (and a fact of life), they should generally be left OUTSIDE THE HOME!
• Need proof? Read: Mindless Eating (Professor Brian Wansink PhD)
Stimulus Control for Long Term
Calorie Control
FIRST - REMOVE TEMPTATIONS FROM AS MANY
ENVIRONMENTS AS POSSIBLE while dispelling myth that
“you’ll have to swear off dessert forever!”
Emphasize: “don’t worry, there will be more than enough opportunities
for indulgences in a lifetime without having them constantly around
you, sapping your “daily allotment of ‘willpower’ (i.e., homes/work) by
tempting you constantly day in & day out at home/work”
• Removing calorie dense/hi-salt “comfort foods” from home/work does
NOT at all mean “removing them from your life”
• HABIT ALERT: Success comes with accepting frequently bringing
healthy food with you far more often than before (e.g., work/vacations)
• Will still have to contend with restaurants and outside sources of
“food”, of course – Skipping breadbasket usually,
dressings/cheeses/sauces, using a menu as an “ingredients list”
Lessons from the US National Weight
Control Registry – www.NWCR.ws
• Food/Active Diaries WORK! (written or smart phone)
• Breakfast and Weighing in the AM regularly
• Consider “Dessert with (Hi Protein) Breakfast Diet”
• Accountability and “checking in” regularly (at doc’s
office, Weight Watchers or another structured program)
• At start of a sincere Lifestyle Change, it is NOT
necessary to tell “EVERYONE” you are going on a DIET
• WORTH REPEATING ON EMOTIONAL/STRESS EATING!
Tips for mind re-training for comfort food overeaters:
Book: “Eating the Moment” - Pavel Somov PhD
Website: www.ShrinkYourself.com - Roger Gould MD
“Optimal” Nutrition:
PROTEIN - a Controversial Area!
• …Recent data, including NIH Omni-Heart Trial comparing standard DASH (15% protein, 60% carb, 25% fat) to “High Protein DASH” (shifting protein up to 25% and carbs down to 50%) found far better results in Metabolic Syndrome subjects for lipid control & overall CVD risk factors
• Institutes of Medicine describes a “healthy range” from 15-35% of total daily calories (30% of 1800 cal = 135 grams)
• Overall, protein suppresses appetite hormone ghrelin better/longer than Carbs/Fat take care not to demonize protein in and of itself!
• Higher age = higher protein intake needed to produce muscle mass!
“Optimal” Nutrition:
PROTEIN - a Controversial Area!
• “Low Protein Diets”, despite common misconception, have NEVER been shown to reduce progression to dialysis, does not mitigate diabetic nephropathy (AJCN, 2008)
• RDA for protein (0.8g per kg, whatever THAT means in the REAL world!) is defined as a MINIMUM intake to meet the requirement of “most” “healthy” adults! But THAT may describe less than 10% of Americans!…Yet protein RDA is commonly promoted as an “optimum” intake. But RDA is frankly inadequate for many and certainly not optimal for most as low protein can = muscle loss contributor. And muscle loss can = increased risk for insulin resistance & total mortality risk!
• Good review on misconceptions re: Protein & the RDA: JAMA June 25, 2008 pgs 2891-2893

“Optimal” Nutrition:
PROTEIN - a Controversial Area!
• Protein has caveats, such as it’s Renal Acid Load and that many sources come with “unwanted passengers” (saturated and excess total fat…as in most feed-lot fed animal meat; sodium…like cured meats and 50/90% of raw chicken/pork, respectively; and heme iron as well as high carnitin in red meat) BUT!……
• Adequate protein at most meals, especially breakfast
• Combine “clean, high-protein” sources with low calorie density (or at least unrefined) higher fiber quality sources of lower protein ALKALINE foods (vegetables & fruit). Legumes are great and basically neutral on RAL….whole grains caveats aforementioned
“Optimal” Nutrition:
PROTEIN - a Controversial Area!
• Protein is critical for maintaining lean tissue mass as we age and is NOT harmful to bone AS LONG AS VEGETABLE AND FRUIT INTAKE is high enough, and grain intake low enough, to address protein’s (and grains’) acidity (hence, an advantage of “Paleo Diet” vs other “low carb” diets is its low salt / high fruits & veggie. Though Paleo is not a practical, nor necessarily ideal, long term diet)
• Protein Intake ideally should be SPREAD throughout the day (e.g., total daily intake for women ~80-100g/day and men ~100-150g) with several 20-35 gram meals/snacks…using medical protein supplements if necessary. Older people need at least 25-30 grams in a “meal” to substantially effect protein synthesis! Not likely going much higher will help though…
BASIC EXAMPLES OF HEALTHY PROTEIN
SOURCES
• Lean, low sodium fish, fowl, egg whites, “Greek” yogurts, pork tenderloin, legumes (e.g., soybeans, edamame, tofu, tempeh, & lentils) which are a good partial “replacement” for some of the average American’s grain intake.
• Must consider high quality, high protein
“Medical Meal Replacements” for appetite control and muscle loss prevention as evidenced by the NIH LookAHEAD ongoing trial of Type 2 Diabetes showing remarkable results considering the subjects’ PCP’s are generally still loading up their patients on weight gain promoting diabetic medications instead of shifting towards more weight loss friendly/neutral options.
Metabolic Medicine with Multidisciplinary
Weight and Lifestyle Management
• State-of-the-art metabolic medical program and its power in
treatment/prevention of diabetes, high blood pressure,
cholesterol problems, fatty liver, obstructive sleep apnea and
other insulin resistance related issues.
• Combining the following 3 proven tools for the first 12-16
weeks (aka – “intensive behavior modification phase”)
• Temporary use of medical formula foods as PART of food
• 12 weekly, intensive group education course (“Lifestyle U”)
• Frequent clinical follow up in the first 3-4 months then
progressively less to complete at least one year
“Optimal” Nutrition:
Basic Eating Questions
Since relatively non-controversial eating will include calorie, sodium
and saturated fat control, ask if these risky eating patterns occur:
“Never”(<1x/mo), “Sometimes”(1x/mo-1x/wk) or “Often” (>2x/wk):
• Do you skip breakfast go longer than one hour of awakening?
• Do you ever go more than 3-4 hrs w/o eating?
• Do you drink any of your calories? Do you eat out (sit down or fast food)?
• Do you eat calorie dense sweets (grain based, hard chocolates, ice cream)?
• Do you eat calorie dense starches (breads, cereals, chips, wraps, etc)?
• Do you purposefully add non-essential fats (butter, mayo, dressings, oil)?
• Do you eat cheese (alone, on salad/pizza, in sandwiches)? nuts?
ADDITIONALLY, FOR HEALTHY EATING PATTERN CHOICES ASK:
• Do you eat unfried fish at least twice weekly?
• Do you eat at least 2-3 pieces of whole fruit?
• Do you eat some fresh vegetables daily?
SJMO Metabolic Nutrition
Weight Management Program
• Our program model is based on the most proven medical evidence:
– National Institutes of Health Landmark “Look Ahead” Study
– The Harvard/Joslin Diabetes center “Why WAIT” program
– USPSTF Guidelines on Obesity Mgt (only “intensive” is EBM)
--Initial part of program includes 3 major components-- 1. “Lifestyle University” - a 3 month intensive education package to
prepare for seamless transition to longevity lifestyle:
Weekly lifestyle change/nutrition/behavior modification classes
2 individual RD visits and 3 hour grocery shopping tour
2. Frequent metabolic physician monitoring for safety
• Approximately two times per month for the first three months, then progressively less thereafter … primary care doc kept updated
3. DATA PROVEN Medical Grade Meal Replacements (e.g., shakes) mixed with foods known to help treat disease (vegetables, whole fruits, lean proteins, legumes, small amt of nuts, oils, whole grains) & promote body fat loss & improve health

Regular Physical Activity starts with NOT SITTING so much!
Even STANDING more and sitting less gives measurable
benefits! (Diabetes Care, 2012) Critical to weight maintenance, better weight loss maintenance potential,
muscle retention and quality of life.
Multiple options
*Physical Therapy – TIP: an underutilized tool! Find a good
PT and “partner” with them on your goals then prescribe PT
for patients as appropriate (which are many!)
Certified Exercise Specialists/Physiologists
Phase III Cardiac Rehab
Initial Evaluation: Attention to building safe,
enjoyable, physical activity
Metformin – a wonder drug?
• Well known first line in DM2 and should stay if on insulin!
• Now used frequently in PCOS, GDM and recently endorsed
by ADA for high risk pre-type 2 diabetics to lower DM2 31%
• Excellent safety profile (likely acceptable up to Cr 1.8)
• Also associated with lower CVD and Cancer (in trials now)
• NEWS FLASH! 10yr follow up to Diabetes Prevention
Program shows TLC cost effective while metformin cost
SAVING! Only 10% of medical tx is actually cost SAVING!
• IMO, B12 should be supplemented (1000mcg PO QD)
• IMO, in pre-diabetics where healthy weight loss is
CRITICAL - best to use metforminER at LUNCH, adjusting
dose up to 1500-2500mg based on GI tolerance
Supplements worth an Honorable Mention
• D3 (IMO - target dose to 25D between ~50ng/dL)
• B12 (IMO - target dose to keep level >500pg/mL with MMA <0.2 umol/L
& Homocysteine <14umol/L; Neurology Sept 27, 2011)
• Omega 3? (caveat: 1000mg fish oil doesn’t = 1000mg w3)
• CoQ10 / Ubiquinone? Maybe statin & CHF patients
• Re others: DO NO HARM! Best is HEALTHY LIFESTYLE! Failures:
Vitamin E, Selenium, Beta-Carotene, Folic Acid for CVD
• Magnesium Citrate/Glycinate? PPI (use ICD-9 995.2)
• Multivitamin? NO EVIDENCE OF BENEFIT FOR GENERAL POP.!
Careful w/ Fe (check ferritin with IR - code 263.0; ferritin levels
>100ng/mL should prompt thought of body iron excess), folate;

What Might Your Newly Reprogrammed Modern
Hunter-Gatherer Patient Be Doing?
